Garden 'n Grow - The Missouri Garden 'n Grow Program is a summer volunteer gardening program developed for 9 to 13 year old youths. In the program, youths learn not only vegetable gardening, but also "cultivate" other science, math, and language arts skills. The goals of the Garden 'n Grow Program are to experience the fun of gardening, to enjoy a feeling of success, and to have the satisfaction of sharing harvested food with others in need. Vegetables harvested from the gardens are for home use and donation to a local food agencies. http://horticulture.missouri.edu/gng/index.htm
