Success StoryA Garden Will Help You Grow



A Garden Will Help You Grow

Author: Laykin Smith

Planning Unit: KSU Administration

Major Program: Accessing Nutritious Foods (general)

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

A garden was started at a rehabilitation/therapy facility in our area. Participants have mild to moderate mental disabilities or handicaps, after successful completion of the Healthy Choices for Every Body series a garden was planted by the group. Many participants grew up on a farm or worked on one, this was a great way to bring back wonderful memories while providing nourishment for their bodies. Participants have worked very hard to plant and maintain their garden, knowing they will soon reap the benefits. They prepare lunch daily and now are able to use fresh produce they have provided for themselves.
