Every Child Should Know Where Healthy Food Grows.
Edgewater Elementary is letting us use their greenhouse to grow our seedlings! By growing our own food we can decrease our carbon footprint and increase accessibility to high quality food to families in our neighborhood.
Student participants are involved in every step of growing in the greenhouse.
2nd and 3rd grade students planted over 2,700 seedlings in 2015 including:
These will be planted in Edgewater gardens. The produce will be given to garden hosts, volunteers, and food banks that serve our local community.
2016 we enhanced the program to include 6th grade students participating in a seed to cafeteria program.
Students and Parents are invited to join us in the gardens during harvest season and take some fresh organic produce home!
