The Green Heart Project is a farm-to-school program that utilizes in-school gardens as a teaching tool. During the school day and in the after school program, the curriculum from the school is weaved into the day’s lesson in a hands-on fashion that the kids truly enjoy. The students have the opportunity to plant the garden themselves and learn about where their produce comes from. At the end of every lesson, the children do a taste test of something from the garden, which is a great way to expose them to new fruits and vegetables that they may not have the opportunity to try otherwise.
