Go2Grow Runner: VT Youth Garden

Running for a Vermont Youth Garden
#Go2GrowRunner

In efforts to support Kidsgardening.org and Youth Garden Grants, I will be running 30miles (Marathon over a month) in the Month of September to help raise monies to support a local Vermont School/Youth Garden.

VT Youth Garden Package: Tools, composters, raised beds, curriculum, etc. from shop.kidsgardening.org.

About NGA and Kidsgardening.org:
The National Gardening Association (NGA) is a Vermont-based national nonprofit leader in garden-based education. NGA supports KidsGardening.org, a provider of grants and free materials for educators and families so that they may use gardening as a resource for learning. Our mission is to empower every generation to lead healthier lives, build stronger communities, and encourage environmental stewardship through educational garden programs.

About Me:
As part of the Kidsgardening.org Team, I'm doing my part on a personal level to help estabish school/youth gardens across the nation. I currently have a 1 year old who is my partner in running and my little weeder/taste tester in the garden. My wish is for every child in Vermont and across the nation to have the opportunity to be fit, eat healthy, and learn in the garden!

***If our goal is reached, Kidsgardening.org will feature the selected Vermont School Garden in their Growing Ideas Blog as well as a list of it's supporters, http://blog.kidsgardening.org/***
