Check out this video from CNN’s Eatocracy that profiles a Washington D.C. Elementary school embracing the benefits of school gardens! Taking the classroom outside to learn about growing, eating, and composting food, these kids are getting a real-world math, science, and health lesson all at once.
As this case shows us, when kids grow, learn, and eat in the garden, their interest in all kinds of foods peaks, showing them that there’s more to eating than taking it out of the freezer and popping it in the microwave.
And after you check out the video, be sure to take a look at the school’s blog at: http://wjfarm.wordpress.com/.
