NCC teaches kids with learning gardens

Hi guys,

I don't know if anyone's seen this article from April 2013 on the NCC website, but it's all about a North Central club called Enactus that partnered with Ann Reid Early Childhood center to teach children by making learning gardens that the kids can work in. They made vegetable gardens, a sensory garden and a butterfly garden on the Ann Reid property. The gardens are grown organically and are under NCC faculty supervision as well.

The kids will be involved in designing, building, planting, and harvesting in the gardens. Learning materials will be created to teach them and do-it-yourself boxes will also be created! I'm not sure what stage this project is currently in, but I'd imagine since this is from April and it's now May, the project is now underway.

Here's the full article.
