Love Thy Garden
Most of us associate gardening with our grandmas and grandpas. We associate it with people who are recovering from an illness. We have seen our older folks gently tending to rows of hydrangeas or tomatoes. It just isn’t something younger people are supposed to do, right? The truth is an increasing number of young adults and kids are getting into small-scale farming or gardening. Schools across the country have initiated programs that involve working in gardens or small community farms.

The Edible Schoolyard Project helps make farming fun for young folks. The project was started in 2005 by Alice Waters. She wanted to transform a vacant lot into an edible kitchen in a school in her neighborhood. It blossomed after 2005 into a nationwide campaign to involve kids in the food-growing and production process. The program lets school kids of varying ages grow their own fruits and vegetables. It then teaches them interesting recipes that are simple too. Imagine the joy kids experience in the different stages of growing their own food. They plant the seed. They watch the plant grow. They take care of it. They pick its fruit and eat it. Farming has other benefits. It relieves stress. It helps kids to stay fit. It lets kids connect with the community. Gardening or farming can be fun for adults and teenagers. People of all ages can enjoy it.
