Students at Old Hammondtown School in Mattapoisett were excited to get outside and harvest kale from their Grow Education garden last week. After months of planting, tending, and learning, students had the opportunity to taste the food they helped grow and explore the connection between gardening, nutrition, and healthy eating.

Stay tuned for more photos and videos from this hands-on taste test experience! 🌱🥬
