Teacher Sherri Sandfort-Sermon quotes Prof. Marion Heatherton on encouraging children to eat fruits and vegetables: “Make sure you start EARLY and OFTEN.” At PS84 The Lillian Webster School in New York City, they’re doing exactly that in their outdoor classroom roof garden, where kindergarten through 5th grade classes learn to plant, harvest, and taste fruits, vegetables, and herbs grown on-site. With their Apples4Ed grant, the school is going to develop more planting room, and more apple trees, and they’ll be able to invite more children to participate in this program. In fact, the grant opens enough space for the school’s pre-kindergarten classes to join in. This gardening class “is better than a field trip,” as one student has said, and we’re happy to help them expand this endeavor and the possibilities that come along with it.
