March 19: Little Green Thumbs
Thursday, March 19th, 2:30 pm – 3:30 pm (NST)
Where does my food really come from? How is it grown? How does it get to me?
These are not simple questions, and contemporary life often prevents us from learning the answers first hand.
Little Green Thumbs is a straightforward attempt to solve the problem: Put a garden in a classroom to help kids learn about their food. The program is in 72 classrooms across the island, and since 2013, using grow kits, some soil and seeds, it has helped more than 18,000 kids learn about our food system in a fun way.
Christa Wright, Coordinator of Agriculture in the Classroom, is presenting this free teleconference. You can find out more about the program at Agriculture in the Classroom Newfoundland & Labrador
