Youth Gardening-2015
Vision
A future in which MC youth have
multiple opportunities to connect with
nature, to develop a stewardship
interest in the natural environment,
and to realize that individual and
group actions can impact our health
and the health of the environment.
MissionTo provide students with an opportunity to
develop organic gardening skills, prepare
them to share their knowledge with others,
and to foster the development of self-
confidence, teamwork skills, scientific
thought, responsibility, and an interest
in healthy eating through a hands-on,
curriculum based gardening program.
