Slow Food Denver - Seedlings the movie

"Seedlings is a documentary feature film about the benefits of school gardens and a celebration that captures a cultural, and social movement of eating better, smarter, and greener while awakening the senses of taste and understanding."

For over a decade, Slow Food Denver (SFD), Denver Urban Gardens (DUG) and Learning Landscapes (LL) have been collaborating on the grounds of DPS to establish school/community gardens and associated education programs. This Denver School Garden Coalition has manifested itself at dozens of DPS elementary schools, and has sought to serve the unique set of needs and circumstances within each school community, with the primary focus on student education and enrichment. The Garden to Cafeteria (GTC) program is a unique opportunity for DPS students to grow fresh vegetables in their school gardens with the aim of supplying some of their harvest to the school cafeterias to be used at lunch service. The first season of the Garden to Cafeteria program began at the start of the 2010-2011 school year.
