Do Children Pick Your Vegetables? (part two)

I applaud the efforts of anyone involved with teaching our children where food comes from and what is needed to make it grow. This effort sponsored by GOOD, LAUSD, The USDA People’s Garden Initiative, The Environmental Media Association, The National Gardening Association, The Urban & Environmental Policy Institute, The California School Garden Network, and Mia Lehrer & Associates, teaches lessons that only nature can provide.

As the article states, "A school ... garden not only helps children understand where their food comes from, it teaches ecological literacy and teamwork, nutrition and problem-solving."

We should be doing this in EVERY school.
