Turning soil,pulling weeds,and harvesting cabbage sound like tough work for middle and high school kids.  And at first it is,says Abby Jaramillo,who with another teacher started Urban Sprouts,a school garden program at four  low-income  schools.The  program  aims  to  help  students  develop  science  skills,environmental  awareness,and
healthy  lifestyles.
Jaramillo's students live in neighborhoods where fresh food and green space are not easy to find and fast food restaurants outnumber grocery stores."The kids literally come to school with bags of snacks and large bottles of soft  drinks,"she  says."They  come  to  us  thinking  vegetables  are  awful,dirt  is  awful,insects  are  awful."Though some are initially scared of the insects and turned off by the dirt,most are eager to try something new.
Urban  Sprouts'classes,at  two  middle  schools  and  two  high  schools,include  hands-o
n  experiments  such  as soil testing,flower-and-seed  dissection,tastings  of fresh  or  dried  produce,and  work  in  the  garden.Several  times  a year,students cook the vegetables they grow,and they occasionally make salads for their entire schools.
Program evaluations show that kids eat more vegetables as a result of the classes."“We have students who say they went home and talked to their parents and now they're cating differently,"Jaramillo says.
She adds that the program's benefits go beyond nutrition.Some students get so interested in gardening that they bring home seeds to start their own vegetable gardens.Besides,working in the garden seems to have a calming effect on Jaramillo's  special  education  students,many  of whom have  emotional  control  issues."They get  outside," she says,“and they feel successful.”
