Teaching Garden: Kids learn to grow their own fruits and veg – then eat them!

In schools across the US, the 'Teaching Garden' programme is planting good seeds among kids and cultivating their taste for heart-healthy eating.

It's not always easy to convince kids to dig into their fruits and vegetables. But an American Heart Association programme is trying to help cultivate an appreciation for healthy eating among young residents across the US. Through the Teaching Garden programme, elementary schools are given all the tools they need for students to get their hands dirty planting vegetables and herbs while learning about the benefits of heart-healthy eating.
