In this hands-on enrichment program, students will step into the dirt and discover the powerful connection between the environment, the science of agriculture, and the food on their plates.

 

Through interactive sessions, participants will:

• Grow From Scratch: Take ownership of their own assigned plants, monitoring and nurturing them through the entire lifecycle - from tiny seedlings to mature, harvest-ready plants.

• Explore Earth Science: Learn the vital mechanics of gardening and see firsthand how growing food integrates with environmental science, soil health, and ecosystems.

• Master the "Healthy Remix": Discover the principles of food nutrition and learn fun, simple ways to upgrade the nutritional value of their favorite common snacks and quick meals.

 

By cultivating their own food, students build lifelong gardening skills, a deep appreciation for the environment, and the tools to make healthier, conscious eating choices.
