Hayward Nutrition Learning community Project -- The Community Gardens is working with the Hayward Nutrition Learning Community Project to promote subsistence gardening. We will highlight the basic idea of what a community garden is, outline the growing techniques of a seasonal crop, inform of the nutritional aspects of that food crop, show technical aspects of in-ground and planter gardening, give away seedlings and planters to encourage patio and porch gardening and invite the school community to join the Hayward Community Gardens. We will emphasize the healthy aspects of self or family production of food, including: A. physical exercise is required to grow, nurture and harvest B. nutritional quality is increased with: 1. immediacy of product to the table 2. harvest timing for perfection in freshness 3. wider choices in cultural variety C. "nutrition of the soul" found in the dignity of productive work and self- sufficiency experenced by families and their children
