school gardens

In neighborhoods with limited access to healthy foods, school gardens can help close the gap — for students and the wider community. Some schools are now expanding the season by growing indoors.

School-based urban gardens can have a measurable positive impact on kids — from improving their diets to helping boost engagement with academics.
