    Network (NutNet) through a United States
    Department of Agriculture grant to the California

At the Forefront
  • "Nonnie was always looking for meaningful
    experiences that would engage children in the
    learning process. She wanted to connect what they
    were learning to nature -- to make learning come
    alive.
  • "A lot of kids think apples come from a plastic
    bag in the grocery store. When they see food
    growing in the ground, it changes everything. One
    boy who hated eggplant couldn't wait to eat it
    after he planted it in the school garden.
  • "Nonnie wanted a garden in every school. She
    worked hard for that."
