Providing a seed to plate program for kids living in poor communities. Our inner city communities have a %50 higher obesity rate than that of the suburbs. Our program teaches kids how to grow their own produce.

We partner with Title One Schools and use this program as a class. We also help the schools start a garden on their campus.
