We’re creating a safe space and providing food for the neighborhood. Educating kids on how to grow their own food. Teaching youth how to identify food plants and where their food comes from.
This will be a safe space because it’s led by young adults from the community, we know how the community operates and how to make it as safe as possible. We are trusted, helping to make the community better.
We will make homemade pizzas from farmer’s market ingredients at the outside oven at the garden. Kids will pick their toppings and help create the pizzas. Once everyone has eaten, we will lead an art activity about food systems/pathways. Where does the food come from, who made it, what labor was involved. The kids will make painted art signs, and we will teach them about what plants are the ones we ate!
