Darke County Help Me Grow and Early Intervention

04/07/2026

Getting kids involved in the garden does more than grow veggies, it grows curiosity, confidence, and healthier habits. When children help choose, harvest, and prepare their food, they’re more likely to try (and enjoy!) new things. Even picky eaters might surprise you!❤️
