Since first lady Michelle Obama planted a garden at the White House in the
spring of 2009 and invited schoolchildren to help tend and harvest the
produce, more school gardens have been sprouting up across the country.
Today, the U.S. Department of Agriculture announces it will award $1
million in grants for eligible high-poverty schools to start community
gardens.
The goal: to teach students about gardening and nutrition and to provide
fresh produce for school meals. Some of the harvest may also be given to
students' families, as well as to local food banks and senior-center
nutrition programs (www.fns.usda.gov).
Improving nutrition in schools is part of the first lady's Let's Move!
initiative to fight childhood obesity.
School gardens "give kids exposure to where food comes from and encourages
them to try foods they might not otherwise try," says Kevin Concannon,
USDA undersecretary for food, nutrition and consumer services.
They give teachers an opportunity to talk about soil, water, sun, health
and science, and the gardens can be used for math and art programs, he
says.
