Center Grove students get a unique opportunity to partner with a local nonprofit, The Well Watered Gardens of Johnson County, to plant community gardens to fight food insecurity.
BARGERSVILLE — In the first grade, there is really nothing better than pajama day or your teacher taking your class outside for part of the school day.
"There's water in the popcorn seeds and they pop and they need sunlight a lot," student Olivia Nicholas said."So you dig a hole and then you put two seeds in all of them and then you like bury them with the dirt.""They need soil, water, maybe some sunlight, eventually," Bohnert said, as he jumped back in line to help his friends dig holes and plant their seeds.
"The kids can come out and pick the popcorn in the fall," Duke said."Put it in a brown paper bag and take it home and microwave it. So it's like they see it. They planted it. They take it home. They consume it." She said they collect data on where food deserts are located in the county and go into those neighborhoods to do prayer walks, sharing their love of God and gardening, while getting to the root of any problems.
