Creating Generation Healthy with Little Sprouts Garden Gang
I am planting more than gardens...
I am Planting Change, One Seed at a Time!
Proud to partnered with childcare facilities in all 50 states and Canada!!!
Little Sprouts Garden Gang began in the Spring of 2016, when I decided to partner with Great Beginnings Child Care in planting a garden to help teach the children where healthy vegetables and fruits come from, and as an added bonus, the kids were able to eat all the great produce the garden provided. Before I knew it, Little Spouts Garden Gang began to, well...Sprout... other child care homes were reaching out to me, wondering if they could participate too. I am happy to announce that the first summer, Little Sprouts Garden Gang grew from one Garden Gang to five Garden Gangs in three different communities throughout the state. I provided FREE seeds in a variety of different vegetables to the child care homes that joined our Garden Gang, read books and helped plant the gardens if they needed a hand.
In the Spring of 2017 I increased the number of Little Sprouts Garden Gangs from 5 to 35, serving 21 communities in Minnesota. I began to encouraged participants to share photos of their gardens via social media to stay in touch with the members who lived far away. In 2018 I provided garden seeds and program information to 105 childcares in not 1 but 21 states.
My goal for 2019 was to partner with childcare facilities in all 50 states, and I am so excited to announce that I have hit my goal, and even grew internationally! I am now helping to plant gardens in all 50 states as will as Ontario, Manitoba and Alberta Canada!
I also seeking volunteers who are passionate about eating healthy and would be willing to partner with a child care that participates in this wonderful program, if that is you, please fill out the information below and press submit.
Special Thank you to KLN Family Brands for sponsoring a portion of the seeds this year!
Thank you to all of this years Childcare Providers who are participating in Little Sprouts Garden Gang with your daycare kids.
Thanks for helping me plant change, one seed at a time. Working together we can educate and encourage today's youth to eat healthier, and help lower Childhood Obesity.
Hope to hear from you soon!
