This spring, Eve’s Fund helped launch the “From the Ground Up” Gardening Program in the Red Mesa Arizona community along with the school district and Four Corners Regional Health Center.
Now that summer has arrived, the program is in full swing.
Students at the Bluebird Recreational Camp learned why gardening is so important as part of a healthy lifestyle. They also took responsibility for planting, watering and maintaining the greenhouse at Red Mesa High School.
Calling themselves the Green Thumbs Club, the campers—who ranged from age 10 to 17—learned that gardening in the harsh Four Corners climate is possible.
