April showers bring May flowers, lettuce, parsley, garlic and kale to the gardens of New Bedford Public School students. In partnership with teachers and students, we have been conducting our Spring Planting Days at 12 elementary schools across the district.

Throughout this past month, Grow Education supported a series of events that we called Community Recipe Meetings. The purpose of these events was to gather local parents, guardians and families to share family and cultural recipes that they would like to see on the school menu.

We have some exciting news – Grow Education is expanding! We had our first official on-site meeting with the Westport Public Schools. Just as we finished fine tuning our programming, Westport Public Schools reached out with interest in starting a Farm to School project.
