Grow to Learn's School Garden Coordinator, Erica Keberle, talks with us about the Grow to Learn initiative in New York City and how the organization is working to sustain and support school gardens that will engage students in active learning.

In early September of 2010 my husband and I had this crazy idea about giving up the grocery store. We felt that we just couldn't trust the food available anymore and we wanted to buy directly from farmers. Being complete gluttons for punishment we decided that for the last 3 months we wouldn't buy any food at all and rely entirely on what we raised, grew and already had on our shelves.
