Getting children excited about eating healthy foods and learning to grow the food themselves is something I get very excited about! Our garden at Gary Knox Elementary allows us to do that very thing. I consider myself very lucky to be able to teach Agricultural Science at a school with such a wonderful garden. Our school is an extremely high poverty school and many of our kids do not have the opportunities to eat some of the types of foods that we grow in our garden. Mr. Vic Smith, a local farmer that has a dream of educating children about the importance of healthy eating, growing their own food, and about agriculture in general, has been so very generous in providing us with this garden. Words alone cannot express our gratitude! We are now ready to take our AG Science class to the next level and implement a healthy eating component. We are in need of items that will help us prepare and cook the food we grow!
