Edible Schoolyard is a wonderful project that first began in our neighborhood (in Berkeley, CA) teaching kids how to grow their own food. It has since grown enormously and many school gardens (and garden-based curriculum) can be found all over the country! Kids are learning to garden at a younger age; they are learning what it means to eat healthy and how to grow their own food!
We love to support innovative programs like this because it helps our awesome community to grow and strengthen. We feel we have a responsibility to educate and prepare the coming generation. As we all know so well, being able to grow your own food is not only a fun hobby. It can be a vital life skill!
So, we decided to offer our support to one particular Edible Schoolyard that is teaching kids how to grow food right in the middle of the in the biggest city in the country: New York City. We donated Coco fiber, Alaska Humus and General Organics fertilizers to Edible Schoolyard NYC. With those GH ingredients added to their soil, those kids will be able to grow bigger, healthier, more nutritious crops! Gardening success is at their fingertips, with a little extra help from their friends at General Hydroponics. Keep up the good work, little gardeners!
Stay tuned to the GH blog for an update from Edible Schoolyard. We’ll see how our products helped their garden!
