Bringing Green to Urban Schools
8/9/2007 - San Francisco Chronicle (California)
Teachers and parents across California are helping their students learn about the environment with school gardens. California is the first state to allocate $15 million to support gardens in the state’s 6,000 schools. “We are really the front runner,” said Lisa Preschel, school garden project director at the Arts and Ecology Center. “But Chicago and surprisingly even Texas are now trying to catch up as well.”
