Mr. G's Urban Garden

There’s a magnificent urban garden at BridgePrep Academy InterAmerican. On raised garden beds, vegetables are growing along with a love of science, respect for nature, and an appetite for learning. On this episode of Providing Choice we spoke with the school’s principal, Mr. Gonzalez, and some of the students that are helping this garden grow. I hope this episode inspires every school to start a garden.
