Our Kitchen Table launched its Program for Growth at two schools in May. We are again growing food with parents, caregivers, and students at Grand Rapids Public Schools Martin Luther King Jr. Leadership Academy and Kentwood Public Schools Glenwood Elementary School.

The photos show students, parents, and OKT food garden coaches planting the new food gardens.

The gardens provides programs for students in grades K-12, including garden education during school and as part of after-school and summer programs. Students grow food on school grounds, integrate garden activities into their curricula, and save and share seeds with community.
