Don't Be Afraid of the Dirt!
It's been eight months since we built our very first Good Food Garden in San Francisco, back at the Slow Food Nation event in September. Since that time we've built two more gardens, an entire curriculum and a network of gardeners, nutrition educators and fresh-food enthusiast who are ready, willing and able to help us plant the seeds of change. During that time, our staff back home in New York has been supporting the Good Food Gardens with enthusiasm, waiting patiently for a Good Food Garden in our own community. This week, we built our first Good Food Garden on top of city soil, on 118th street in the heart of New York City. And along with it comes a documentary about what the Good Food Gardens are all about, how it impacts the lives of children and how you can get inspired to build a garden in your own home, school or community. The first episode airs this week here, as a part of FoodNetwork.com's Healthy Eating campaign. Watch our garden grow on air! Thanks for your support! -Sarah Copeland, Good Food Ambassador
