Everybody Eats: Fair Food Education Rooted in Place
Appendix B: Youth Gardening Program Resources
I have organized this resource list into five broad categories:
(a) Example Youth Garden Programs
(b) Teaching and Learning in Gardens
(c) Garden Design & Food Systems Resources
(d) Media for Youth
(e) Media for Educators
Although some resources fit in more than one category, I chose the best category
