Cultivating Families and Gardens

"I envisioned children being outside at pick-up time and children steering parents to the garden to share the fun that they had during the day in the garden. The parent is able to escape and be in the garden and not worry about time and what’s next," explains Patricia Sinclair, Director of Bright Horizons at Cornell University in The People's Garden on Exchange's Ed.Flicks. Considering involving families in starting or expanding a garden at your program? The People's Garden initiative is accomplished through collaboration and volunteerism. They work to start and sustain school gardens, community gardens, urban farms, and small-scale agriculture projects in rural and urban areas with the mission of growing healthy food, people and communities.
