🌱 Growing Choices Kickoff Tour

A local farm or community garden partner leads a hands-on ingredient exploration with 3-4 seasonal foods. Students sort items by plant part and growing method, listen to a short talk about water, soil, and seasonality, and sample a quick no-cook preparation modeled with high school culinary arts students. In project journals, students add labeled sketches, at least two observations from the tasting, and one question for the farm visit or future cooking tests.
