Why are these garden beds so significant? For many of us, these beds are simply a place to grow vegetables. But for kids at a transitional housing shelter, these beds are a place to learn about growing food, cooking with fruits and vegetables, caring for themselves, and conserving natural resources. The Northland Family Help Center in Flagstaff, AZ created this Youth Shelter Garden to provide youth in transition opportunities to find roots and connect with their environment. "Every small interaction, every hand holding a young transplant in fresh soil, every sprouted seed and fresh raspberry all increase the connection of our youths to the world around them, a vital component of building the resiliency and connectedness of youth in the youth shelter.” Head to our Program Spotlight link to learn more about this Gro More Good Grassroots Grant winner. #kidsgardening #kidsgarden #gardeningwithkids #growyourfood #arizonagardening #environmentallyfriendly #youthprogram #raisedgardenbeds
