    Who Knew Broccoli Didn't Grow on Trees? School Garden Education in Colorado

    Often as we teach kids where their food comes from, even 11th graders sometimes think broccoli grows on trees, because they're not exposed to growing food.  Join us as we explore School Garden Education in the Denver, Colorado area with SustainED Farms' Matt Supronowicz and Maya McDowell.

    You can listen to the episode here: School Garden Education in Colorado

    Also available on approximately 30 platforms.  Simply search for "Farm to School Podcast."

    I just finished listening to this podcast and was so excited to hear what is going on in Colorado.  The SustainED Farms organization is really working to increase involvement and engagement in school gardens and healthy eating.  The website is a wealth of knowledge and has compiled many virtual lessons on growing, sustainability and even crafting in the garden.  If you are looking for new ways to engage learners in the garden, I highly recommend checking out their list of resources.   https://www.sustainedfarms.org/
