Show Notes
We chat with Sunday Harrison, the founder and executive director of Green Thumbs Growing Kids, a non-profit organization that provides hands-on garden and food education to urban school children.
Harrison says that she started the program as an after-school program in a local Toronto park, but after hearing students say, “I really want a garden at my school,” she partnered with local schools.
Now in its twenty-first year of operation, the program has grown to include placements for post-secondary students. Her top tip for those thinking of starting a program: “Start small and do it well.” She says that this attracts other people.
