About
YOUTH GARDENS - 2018-2019 WAS OUR THIRD YEAR RUNNING A GARDEN-BASED SCIENCE PROGRAM PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE CULTURAL ARTS COALITION'S LONG-RUNNING SCIENCE ACADEMY AND WORKING FOOD'S YOUTH GARDEN PROGRAM. OUR TWO ESTABLISHED GARDENS AT COMMUNITY CENTERS IN GAINESVILLE CONTINUE TO GROW AND PROVIDE A CREATIVE SPACE TO EXPLORE GARDENING, FOOD, COOKING, SCIENCE, NATURE, AND ART. PROGRAM PARTNERSHIPS HAVE IMPROVED THE CONTENT AND DELIVERY OF EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS. THIS HAS ALLOWED US MORE TIME TO EXPLORE THE MANY CREATIVE APPROACHES TO LEARNING THAT A WELL-RUN GARDEN CAN OFFER. VISUAL AND PERFORMING ARTS, AS WELL AS COOKING AND NUTRITION LESSONS HAVE DEEPENED OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR STUDENTS, DEMONSTRATING THE INTERCONNECTIONS BETWEEN FREQUENTLY ISOLATED SUBJECT MATERIALS. THIS SPRING, WORKING FOOD AND THE GREATER DUVAL NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION JOINTLY RECEIVED AN AWARD FROM THE CITY OF GAINESVILLE RECOGNIZING OUR "OUTSTANDING EFFORTS TO PROMOTE RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES IN THE CITY OF GAINESVILLE." WE ALSO WELCOMED JESSICA WILSON AS OUR NEW GARDEN PROGRAM COORDINATOR MID-WAY THROUGH THE SCHOOL YEAR. SHE HAS BROUGHT MUCH EXPERTISE, PASSION AND VISION TO THE PROGRAM, AND WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO CONTINUING TO DEVELOP AND DEEPEN OUR IMPACT ON YOUTH EDUCATION.
