We're back! After a brief hiatus during the Grove Kickstarter (check us out!), the Urban Agriculture Meet-Up returns. This time, let's talk about the importance of gardens in schools and their positive impact on children and communities. Gardens have been used in schools for well over a century, bringing a sense of environmental stewardship to children by creating positive experiences with nature, food, and our mentors. Today school gardens have taken a turn into the 21st century. With modern advancements in agricultural technology these "Learning Gardens" have opened the door for students to learn well past plant anatomy and cultivation techniques. S.T.E.M Curriculum is nurturing a nation of great thinkers that may improve our current outlook on the environment, our food and our culture.

Looking forward to seeing some familiar faces and new attendees! There will be snacks, beer and good conversations so please join us and lets slow roast some food for thought.
