Mmmm, Pizza Garden

No, you can’t grow whole pizza pies, but you can use a pizza garden to make lessons in nutrition and sustainability come alive for students.

No, you can’t grow whole pizza pies, but you can use a pizza garden to make lessons in nutrition and sustainability come alive for students. With help from the PTO, students at Woodman Park Elementary in Dover, N.H., planted tomato, basil, garlic, and oregano on a rolling cart that can be moved around the school. The PTO secured donations from several gardening companies and a cheesemaker for the project. Students sampled donated cheese, picked up pizza recipes, and took home information about gardening. The vegetables will be used in school lunches.
