Here’s an update on the “Growing Food by and for Growing Bodies” – The Ayden Boys and Girls Club Garden Project. You can see our other articles on the subject here and here.
On Friday July 9 the youthful gardeners at the Boys and Girls in Ayden got to sample the fruits of their labors. Guided by Joni Torres and Nancy Bray our budding agriculturalists harvested some of their crops (tomatoes, basil, and Pak Choi [Chinese Cabbage]). They then participated in preparing several enticing recipes in their new kitchen (Caprese salad with cheese, and Stir fried Pak Choi in sesame oil) and served these delectable dishes to staff. They then consumed the rest themselves. All agreed that the whole process from Plantings to Plate has been great fun and a grand learning experience – possibly even “…more fun than the computer room.” Now is that a success or what? Stay tuned for more to come.
