Preschoolers at the Garden


A group of Rooney Preschoolers visited the garden today. They arrived in an adorable line, each child carrying something to plant. They listened as their teacher showed them how to plant and then began to take turns planting. 


Teaching children to garden in a community garden teaches them more than just about growing nutritious food.  It offers the children exercise, social interaction and builds a sense of community bridging social, economic, generational and cultural gaps.
