Introduction to the School Garden movement
The
school garden movement is thriving throughout Hawaii and creating
real-life, hands-on educational programs for students of all ages. Learn
about programs that teach local students and their families to grow
nutritious, organic fruits and vegetables - on any budget, in any
community or living space.
Nio Kindla, Kirk Surry, Kathy Becklin, and Kerry Wilkins, co-founders of Grow Some Good - Educational School Gardens on Maui (www.GrowSomeGood.org)
- will discuss school gardens as learning centers for new gardeners;
how school gardens inspire better nutrition choices and greater access
to organic fruits and veggies for an entire community; and how to get
funding to help fund your community-driven garden projects.
As part of the evening,
'Project: Plant It!' volunteers will share ready-to-transplant organic
and heirloom garden starts, planted by student gardeners at Kihei
Elementary School and Lokelani Intermediate School.
Note: We aim to have a "trash free"
event and encourage folks to bring their own bowl and utensils. And, if
you like, a comfortable chair. It was standing room only last month!
