Got Dirt? Will provide you with hands on training on how to start a youth garden, resources to support your vision, activities to engage children and the families you care for. Whether you are a Family Childcare or Childcare Center you can plant in containers, hanging baskets or create a raised bed for your garden. When you grow your own fruit, vegetables, or herbs you create an environment of learning that positively impact children’s nutrition and future health. Research shows that to involve children in gardening is a promising strategy for increasing fruit and vegetable consumption. These healthy habits have been proven to reduce diabetes, heart disease and obesity.
