How many times have you heard the phrase "you are what you eat?" Stop and think about the importance of that statement. What we eat plays a large role in how we develop and grow. It also influences our health, energy levels and attitudes. Learning about good nutrition should be a part of every person's life especially during habit-forming childhood years.

This web page explores a fun way to teach children about nutrition: through gardening. A garden provides a site for hands-on lessons about fruits and vegetables, important components of our diet. Gardens are exciting, interactive ways to demonstrate life skills and to develop good habits.
