Making vegetables fun for kids… if we get them outside playing in the dirt and watching the miracle of a tiny seed, tended and cared for, growing into delicious food, well it just sort of happens. Lots of laughter, playing “Tag, We’re Fit!” – a game we started playing in 2009 to link the garden to exercise – and giving out “Garden Goody Bags” (like a birthday party) at the end of harvesting sessions makes for really positive vegetable/garden associations. We arrive at the school with giant bowls of kid-grown spinach and hear, “Awesome! Do we get that today for lunch? I love that stuff!”
