About the Program: 

Our goal is that the produce and educational activities will be resources for students and the community to make healthy choices. Our school is situated in a locale that lacks fresh healthy food and we hope that the students will gain an appreciation and understanding of the garden as a resource for themselves and their families. To further this concept we will support our students by participating in Youth Grown Detroit, a program that brings youth to local farmers markets with their produce.
