• Hand full of Vegetables

    Garden Nutrition programs can be a handful. The ultimate goal is to increase access to nutritious and delicious fruits and vegetables to those who are SNAP eligible. Another goal of this program is to donate excess produce to local food pantries, food banks and community meal sites.

  • Hand full of Radishes

    Imagine a child's eyes light up as they harvest vegetables right from the garden. Studies show that gardening increases vegetable consumption in school age children. We are transforming nutrition education by integrating experiential learning in the garden.

The Growing Together WI project is working towards improved food security, safety and health for FoodShare eligible participants in Wisconsin. Growing Together WI encourages collaboration between FoodWIse education staff and Master Gardener Volunteers to promote healthy food access and availability through garden spaces. This collaborative effort can take place in a variety of ways such as development and maintenance of community garden spaces for limited income audiences, garden produce donations to food pantries, and teaching limited income audiences how to grow their own food. Together we can make a difference!
