Planting and growing a garden at Coronado Elementary after school and throughout the summer will teach children how to grow their own food. Food harvested will particularly benefit low-income children, foster care youth, and students experiencing homelessness, but will benefit all children with unique needs. Caring for the garden will also provide all students/children with outdoor exercise and social interaction, in addition to building self-esteem that comes with harvesting and eating food they have grown themselves.
