Whole Kids Foundation Garden Grant
As of August 28, 2011, Whole Kids Foundation has raised over $708,000 for the School Garden Grant Program.
Kids need to learn about the basics of where their food comes from at an early age. This promotes an early understanding and appreciation towards the value of eating healthy, growing your own food, sustainability, enjoying the outdoors and digging in the dirt.
