The Edible Schoolyard [posted on June 15, 2006]
In collaboration with Martin Luther King Junior Middle School, this program provides urban public school students with a one-acre organic garden and a kitchen classroom. Using food systems as a unifying concept, students learn how to grow, harvest, and prepare nutritious seasonal produce. Experiences in the kitchen and garden foster a better understanding of how the natural world sustains us. [The Edible Schoolyard]
