"I've always wanted to have a garden at home, I'm so glad that I get to come work in this one."
- Mancos Elementary Student
"Garden class is the easiest class to get all kids engaged. I've had incredibly high behaviors be sucked into lessons. I've had five different life skills students stay completely regulated and engaged in almost every single lesson. It's heartwarming and inspiring."
- 3rd grade teacher from Cortez
"The tasting is always a highlight of the lesson. It has surprised me how willing the students are to try something new when they understand where the food comes from. I think that being in the garden encourages exploration, which extends to the tasting portion of the lesson. This curiosity in trying new, nutritious foods is a valuable skill that sets students up for healthy eating habits in the future."
