“From the garden, and the kitchen, and the table, you learn empathy—from each other and for all creation; and you learn patience and self-discipline. A curriculum that teaches these lessons gives children an orientation to the future—it can give them hope.” 
Alice Louise Waters

The Edible Schoolyard Berkeley

Alice Waters, (co-founder of Chez Pannise Restaurant), has been credited with establishing The Edible Schoolyard
Project at Martin Luther King Jr. Middle School in 1995.

"...when children are engaged in the growing, harvesting and preparing of food they are far more likely to eat it." ~Our History, The Edible Schoolyard Project

The school garden coupled with the teaching kitchen, educates children about health, good eating habits while incorporating math, science, language arts, history and ecology.
