Lowe's offers grants to schools to establish gardens

About: Praise for Mary Keltner article on school food

To ColumbiaMagazine.com:

If the Adair County School System was serious about cutting out the junk food, Lowe's offers grants up to $20,000 for undertaking large gardens in schools. Not only will that generate money for the school, they would have to pay a lot less for the food services if the school system grew their own fruits and vegetables. Also, healthy eating could be taught alongside gardening. Of course, it would be beneficial to give students the option to do the gardening and not just let the FFA-enrolled students do it. As a daughter of an FFA college graduate, I know first hand nothing tastes as good as something that has been grown in your backyard.
