Health is Wealth- The Beautiful Results of “Our Roots!” Community Garden

The year has been going strong! The amazing middle schoolers at Trey Whitfield are not only cooking delicious and nutritious meals, they are also cooking with the vegetables they grew in their very own community garden, “Our Roots!”

Pictured here are the tomatoes, swiss chard, and spinach that they grew. They made some eggs with these nourishing vegetables and citrus juice learning how to make a simple syrup with raw brown sugar.

All around, the students are learning vital skills to help better their life, and the true meaning of Civic Engagement. Nurturing the body is nurturing the mind. And everyone deserves access to knowledge that helps to better themselves, especially when it’s funny and engaging!
