ECO Garden

We want kids to eat their veggies! Funded by the TN Dept. of Health "Project Diabetes", located at the Knoxville Botanical Garden & Arboretum, and staffed by UT Human Dimensions Research Lab.

Mission-
Our mission is to promote and support opportunities that encourage children to engage with and experience the outdoors. Youth have the opportunity to engage in hands-on gardening activities. Edible gardening is a great way for students to achieve physical activity while learning about fruits and vegetables. Gardening labs meet state curriculum standards.
