Can school gardens grow healthier kids? researchers test different teaching methods

This study is testing four different ways to help preschools run garden-based education programs that teach young children about healthy eating and physical activity. Researchers will work with 871 children, parents, and teachers across 32 preschool sites to see which approach works best and is easiest for schools to maintain. The goal is to find the most effective and sustainable way to help preschoolers develop healthy habits through hands-on garden learning.
