We love everything about Garden School Foundation who work to build elementary school curriculum around a garden, teaching children not only about nutrition and patience, but also about math and critical thinking. What’s not to like?
There is so much whimsy and magic in the 24th Street Elementary School Garden. Trees are pruned so that they are small enough for children to pick from.
I brought in lunch to discuss how we could partner to help raise funds for this program and others like it to continue and grow. Unfortunately government does not provide coverage so volunteers and donations keep it running. It’s up to the community to sponsor valuable programs like these that invest in our children. #ittakesavillage
My parting gift was this delightful basket of produce from the garden and knowing that Heirloom LA is contributing to our community’s future.
