Support for School Garden Programs


Increasingly, school gardens are becoming the focal point for improving the attitudes, health and well being of school children who may be used to overly processed and manufactured food. Whether using a window box to grow herbs in the classroom or turning a portion of the school property into a full-fledged vegetable garden, the hands-on experience of growing something and having the opportunity to pick it is changing how children see fruits and vegetables and the living world they inhabit.
