Kids Garden Program
Our after-school garden program offers students hands-on educational and cultural opportunities including planting, seed saving, composting, and plant art along with many other gardening techniques. Students learn where and how they can grow their food. This helps them envision a healthy future and to think critically about their food choices. Gardening is also a whole-body experience that supports emotional and social development.
Our team
Here at Fresno Metro Ministry we focus on build strong communities. Our School engagement staff focuses on connecting kids with the food they eat. We focus on Creating Community Garden spaces at Schools to combat food disparity zones in Fresno, CA.
