Through the Biology and Health classes we will offer a  series of gardening and cooking lessons that meet CA state science and health standards.  During the academic school year, biology classes visit the garden and cooking classroom for a total of 8 two hour hands-on lessons.

These garden-based lessons include:

• Educational gardening activities
• Science lessons
• Nutrition workshops
• Fun, hands-on cooking classes
• Culturally diverse ingredients and recipes

The goals of our garden-based cooking program are to:

• Increase knowledge about nutrition and healthy eating habits
• Teach skills in healthy meal preparation, using seasonal fresh produce
• Promote the benefits of growing food in a community garden and/or  home garden
