Kids in Nicaragua and Canada Share Stories From Their Gardens

By Leah Nevada Page - Project Management Consultant

A girl in Nicaragua tends to her TGC EarthBox

The Growing Connection recently paired a school garden in Canada (Holy Cross Academie Internatoinale) with an afterschool agriculture program in Nicaragua (Cusmapa Fabretto Center) so that the childen could share stories about growing food in their TGC gardens. The children decided to video record garden tours for their new partner schools and the first video is in. Check out the Cusmapa Fabretto Center garden at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMr1KMMNzXc

Thank you to everyone who donated to support a teacher training on the new website. Thanks to you, TGC will begin training schools around the country and the world on how to get connected and start sharing the immense practical knowledge they've accumulated from working in their TGC garden.
