Gabby Reece Promotes “The Teaching Garden” Skills At Home
Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, April 7th, 2010 in Athletes-Games-Sports, Children, Food & Drink, Gardening.
Gabby Reece was invited to help with The Teaching Garden by her friend and wife of Tobey Maguire, Jennifer Meyer.
The Teaching Garden teaches students to grow their own produce while emphasizing math and science skills.
The goal is to get 1,000 Teaching Garden programs in schools, but parents can start instructing at home, something Reece is already doing.
“My kids get to live in Hawaii and California,” Reece told Celebrity Baby Scoop.
“They play out in the dirt all the time. One of their favorite things to do each morning when we are in Hawaii is to pick fruit from the trees: lemons, avocados and papayas. My 2 year old likes lettuce and my 6 year old, well it’s a constant negotiation. Broccoli seems to be the winner so far.”
Of course, it’s great when the students can teach mom and dad a thing or two about planting, cultivating and harvesting in the home.
“Another important message is that the learning goes from the kids back to the parents. The children can teach their parents what they have learned about nutrition and fitness and hopefully have an impact.”
