The Richmond Schooyard Society’s mission is to bring children into the “outdoor classroom” where they connect with the earth and their community. Their vision can be summed up in a simple equation: “kids + gardens + healthy food = stronger communities”. The program promotes community, local organic food, healthy eating choices, and food sustainability.
Charity Pot funding helped support the “Kids in the Garden” programs. These programs connect children with food, nature and their community through experiences in ‘outdoor classrooms’.
