'Growing Healthy with School Gardens' Takes Root in Los Angeles Saturday
Date:10/2/2007

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 2 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- California School Garden Network (CSGN) and Network for a Healthy California -- Los Angeles Unified School District, in partnership with Western Growers, the California Instructional School Garden Program (CISGP) and the University of California Cooperative Extension's Common Ground Program are proud to be hosting "Growing Healthy with School Gardens" -- a school garden resource fair in Los Angeles.

Recipients of CISGP funds will receive valuable information about their grants and be introduced to the various programs available to promote their school gardening efforts, professional development opportunities for staff and volunteers and information on all of the resources available in the Los Angeles area to help and support their gardens -- including nutrition education programs from Network for a Healthy California.

California Secretary of Agriculture, A.G. Kawamura, is scheduled to address the teachers and principals in attendance, speaking about the important role school gardens play on campus as "learning laboratories."

"Our goal has always been to see a school garden take root on every elementary, middle and high school campus throughout this great state," said Tim Alderson, CSGN Chairman. "We anticipate that this great event will inspire those educators and students who have invested so much time and energy in to their own school gardens to continue utilizing that great resource. For those schools that don't yet have a school garden, this resource fair will showcase the many benefits, for students and faculties alike, that are found in school gardens."

LAUSD schools will be receiving more than $1.7 million in CISGP grant funds to be used for supplies, professional development and technical assistance for school gardens at more than 500 sites this school year.

The resource fair is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 6, at Harmony Elementary School in Los Angeles from 8 a.m. to noon. W
