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.
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.
