 I had a container gardening experience with children from the Kindred and Castleton schools. We had gotten a junior master gardener grant from our state legislators and with that we purchased supplies to produce container gardens for the children. The kids then got to put together the kits and also grew their tomatoes and in the fall of that year they came back or when school started again and they did a survey on what they learned and what they didn't learn and the results were quite remarkable. And some of the things they learned were how tomatoes worked or utilized fertilizer, how water worked, why soil drainage was important, types of soil, sunlight photosynthesis. Also many of the kids would not be children that would want to eat tomatoes but when they grew the tomato they were very happy to eat it and so a lot of comments and compliments from parents saying my child now will eat at least one vegetable that they grew and it's a good thing to work with youth.
