Garden Your Way to Good Nutrition


Welcome to "Garden Your Way to Good Nutrition", a gardening and nutrition resource series. Gardening is a great way for Kansans of all ages to produce their own fresh, delicious, home-grown vegetables. Gardening also helps families stretch their food dollars, include more fruits and vegetables in their diets, and increase physical activity. This display is a series of graphic panels suitable for use on a tabletop display board. Select from a variety of gardening topics to customize presentations throughout the program year (a possible total of nine displays). Each display includes a list of resources divided according to the age of the target audience, from youth to adults. Associated lessons from the Junior Master Gardener curriculum are noted. Extension publications on gardening subjects are referenced. The accompanying CD includes pictures of the displays, handouts, activity sheets and resource pages.
