JoinFrom Garden to Table
The sight of young children eagerly reaching for and eating string beans, carrots, lettuce, radishes, and even raw beets and onions is an incredibly satisfying one for a science teacher. The experience of growing food is a natural motivation for getting children to eat more healthful food. Tending a garden can make this process real and help children to make connections between farmers who grow food or raise animals and the food that arrives in the stores.
