Green for Kids inspires schools to get kids green through hands-on gardening experiences and environmental sustainability education. In combination with our Cook for Kids program, and in collaboration with our garden partners, WITS Chefs lead interactive lessons related to garden produce and support a garden-to-café experience.
From implementing hydroponic Tower Gardens to partnering with Edible Schoolyard gardens, WITS brings the school garden experience into classrooms and cafeterias with hands-on, experiential learning.
We believe that children who are connected to their environment will become aware of the impact of their choices on the world around them. By digging into gardening lessons, kids learn more about the origin of produce and the nutrition that helps keep them strong. With concepts like sustainability, recycling, and food waste, kids learn about creating healthy, balanced relationships with themselves and the world. Our goal is to help the next generation be eco-friendly and to love the power of plants and greens as fuel and friends.
