Growing Health Participant (2024)

“My children ages 16 and 8 became interested and enjoyed the garden. My son who is 8 became so enchanted with the idea of growing and eating from the garden that he decided to invest his free time outside of school and playtime to gardening. He decorated the garden and told stories about what he plans to grow next year. He wants to expand his garden and also wishes to set up an additional garden at his grandparents house so that he can have corn and sun flowers. He hopes to grow so many things because this garden grew such delicious green beans and carrots! He is so excited to start! My daughter was very pleased with how her brother picked tea for her that she hopes he is able to grow so much more for her next summer.”
