About Garden to Table
The Growe Foundation's Garden to Table program began in 2004, out of a recognition that elementary school education could be enriched in the areas of health and environmental learning. As a means of supporting early life experiences and building community, the Garden to Table program provides children with the knowledge and skills that lead to healthy and environmentally sustainable lifestyles choices. We do this by offering elementary schools a hands-on model that brings teachers, parents, students, and communities together through growing food, learning about nutrition, and preparing and eating fresh meals. http://www.gardentotable.org/
