Purpose: Discussing the Garden Project Lawton Chiles and their Garden project Our experience: Pictures Concluding statement

Why should I know about the project? It educates kids about a healthy diet. Encourages a sense of responsibility. Teaches about patience and hard work.

Some background information: What is the “Garden Project”? Kids are assisted in planting and caring for a vegetable garden in a designated area. Kids learn about the food chart. Kids will then eat the vegetables.

Garden Projects in Other Schools: What is usually done? Set budget (fundraisers, donations, government funds etc.) Make list of supplies needed: Soil, plants, fertilizer, garden tools, educational supplements. Find Volunteers. Schedule times for meeting. What type of vegetables? Area for garden? Parent Support.

Additional Resources that might be helpful - 3,074 school gardening associations worldwide. - Coalition for the Homeless - provide shelter, meals, education and more, to homeless children. - ADDitions Program, Exceptional Ed. Program, and the Parent Teacher Association encourage parent involvement in activities like the “garden project”.
