On April 11, the USDA People's Garden grant was funded! This is very exciting news, because our county was one of four or five in NYS who are part of this research project. Along with my Master Gardener volunteers, CCE will be providing education to teachers in four elementary schools in Rockland County, all who will be starting new school gardens and using them to teach lessons in nutrition to their students.
