If you are familiar with the story of Urban Sprouts’ origin, you’ll know that Dr. Michelle Ratcliffe conducted her doctoral research project on the impacts of school gardens at three SF public schools during the 2003-04 school year. Now, the results of Michelle’s study have been published!
At the end of that year, teachers were so happy with the results that they asked Michelle and I to stay on and help them make the school garden an integral part of school curriculum and culture. Urban Sprouts was born, and Michelle and I embarked on a path we had dreamed about for so long!
A huge congratulations to Michelle and thank you to all those who made this study possible! We have come so far since our beginnings.
