In partnership with the Scotts Miracle-Gro Foundation, the National Head Start Association (NHSA) has brought the life-enhancing benefits of gardens to more children and families in the Head Start community through the GroMoreGood Garden Grant. Our desire is for this garden grant program to foster exciting, hands-on experiences for Head Start children and families, connecting them with their natural world, increasing their appreciation and understanding of fresh healthy foods and nutrition, and inspiring a lifelong love of gardening. For the past five years, NHSA has awarded the GroMoreGood Garden Grant to 58 NHSA Head Start programs from 26 states across all regions of the country. And as a result, 9,151 youth and 5,462 adults benefitted from the healthy food, green spaces, and the hands-on lessons gained from their gardens. (author abstract)
