Gardening and Health Green Club

By:

This year Simon MS received a grant from The Oliver Foundation to begin a Gardening and Health Food Club for the 2013-2014 school year. The club met two times a week with about 10 students. In the Fall, the club used a growing rack to grow herbs and lettuce inside the school. Students got to taste their plants by making pico de gallo and basil pesto. In the spring, gardeninig boxes were built for the club and we planted tomatoes and flowers.

The group also helped comprise recipes for our whole school to take home and try to cook to eat healthier.
