Grow Pittsburgh - Edible Schoolyards
Print

Based on the seed-to-table learning model initiated by Alice Waters in Berkeley, CA, The Edible Schoolyard integrates garden activities into the regular classroom curriculum to improve young students’ eating habits, invest students in their school communities, and enhance students’ academic performance. Now in its fifth year in the Pittsburgh Public Schools (PPS), The Edible Schoolyard is the fruit of collaboration between PPS personnel, teachers, parents, community members, and the non-profit organization Grow Pittsburgh.
