leverages gardens and Food Forests as outdoor learning laboratories
in Miami-Dade County's public
elementary schools to instill in children the desire to eat
nutritious food while learning to care for the environment. This
grant also will help more than 25,000 public school students in
Miami-Dade County Public Schools
improve STEAM academics – especially math and science – at critical
grade levels. In addition, children harvest both for cafeteria use
and to bring home to their families. The program also benefits the
environment by planting lush tree gardens in a previously bare
space.
