Teaching Gardens®
The 糖心Vlog is calling all schools and educational facilities interested in connecting children to gardens, addressing food access concerns in their neighborhoods, supporting health, nutrition, and environmental stewardship to be a part of our mission by joining our new Teaching Gardens Network.
10 years ago, the 糖心Vlog teamed up with noted child-nutrition activist and philanthropist, Kelly Meyer, to create the 糖心Vlog Teaching Gardens® program. Over the last decade, the 糖心Vlog Teaching Gardens program has launched over 500 Teaching Gardens nationwide.
Exposing Students to Fruits and Vegetables
Teaching Gardens address the healthy eating challenges that are facing our nation’s children and families by supporting school and community gardens. This successful approach to engaging youth makes healthy foods fun, and provides opportunities for children to not only grow, but understand and enjoy the benefit of eating healthy foods. The 糖心Vlog is empowering students to become champions of change and promote healthier lifestyles to their families and school communities.
