Grow Eat Learn Pilot School Profiles

Thanks to support from the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development and Engage Nova Scotia, our Grow Eat Learn program was able to fund 10 innovative school gardens and growing projects. We followed the growth of these gardens through the season with monthly virtual meet-ups with the project leaders – real garden champions working to promote youth-centered garden education across the province.

Meet Jasmine

Meet Nourish champion, Jasmine! Jasmine has been involved in many projects with us over the last year, but most notably, she has made incredible contributions to our Youth Food Leaders program during its pilot launch. Since then, she has continued her work with us to develop and deliver Food Skills workshops and create associated resources. We are excited to highlight Jasmine’s contributions this month!
