All of my children grow, they started digging and planting when they were tots . Grabbing peas or strawberries right off the plants and shoveling them in their mouth was what they loved to do.
I think you are on to something special. Teaching kids to fend for themselves is so important, what better way to start, growing your own food.
Good luck with the project. I'll check it out.
Enjoy your day.Good morning @porters. Love that "got dirt" slogan. Ever since we started gardening, some 45 years ago, we always said, it's all about the dirt. I never seem to have enough since I keep adding new types of veggies to the roster.

I hear you about always expanding the gardens to accommodate more veggies! Some of the first gardens I started here was in pure sugar sand but I manages to build up the soil to get it producing!
I love seeing kids in the garden at an early age and being able to send them out to graze!
Thank-you for your kind comment, I'm really enjoying putting this together - lots of fun!
Even though we just have a small group of kids taking this first pilot project, I'm doing the groundwork with plans to bring it to the schools for I feel gardening should be a part of every child education!
If you know of any contacts for getting this program out to more kids let me know.
Good luck with the project, excellent choice.
Enjoy your day!Good afternoon @porters, I completely agree it should be part of the curriculum, taught at a young age it could change the way they eat for the rest of their lives, making them healthier. There needs to be a shift towards sustainability, supporting local farmers or better yet, growing your own food.
