About the Program: 

In-classroom and after-school lessons are facilitated by FoodCorps and the Yavapai County -Community Health Services Department. Garden education is intermixed with nutrition education and presented in a fun, engaging, hands-on way. We support quarterly school-wide taste-tests of local produce as well as healthy eating at school-wide events, such as bake sales. Currently, we work every week with K-2 grade in after-school garden club as well as 2nd grade in-classroom gardening and nutrition lessons twice per month.
