Slow Food Children’s Gardens


 

 

Slow Food Saint Louis is committed to helping all people learn about good food and where it comes from. This includes children! By empowering teachers to reach children on the issues of growing food, incorporating it into their diet, and sharing it together, we hope to plant the seed of change in the next generation.  Our national network, Slow Food USA, provides comprehensive educational materials for teachers who want to create a garden program, but might not know where to start. These materials range from sample garden layouts to an easily adaptable template for year-round curriculum:
