From the Back Cover
This book is an invaluable resource--a cornucopia of practical ideas for educators interested in making learning come to life for their students. Having grown up on a family farm, I know firsthand the lifelong lessons that come from working the land. Digging Deeper shows simply and clearly how school gardening is an ideal vehicle to meet high educational standards and achieve learning results so necessary for future generations to live sustainably on this planet.--Dr. Marc Hull, Vermont Commissioner of Education. As a food educator who has worked with children for over 27 years, I applaud Food Works for writing this book. All young people deserve to know where their food comes from and how to prepare a healthy diet. By providing educators with practical, clear information on how to develop youth gardens in schools and communities, Digging Deeper is an invaluable resource for anyone who cares about improving the lives of children by reconnecting them to the lessons of the earth.--Dr. Antonia Demas, Founder and Director, Food Studies Institute, Trumansburg, NY.
