@Timothyswallehz I'm on the "yes" because it teaches them how things grow and how real food looks within that process. Many people, especially in inner cities dont know and as such when they dont see produce that's scrubbed & otherwise prepared to look plastic model perfect looking, they'll throw it out or refuse to buy it, over that understanding gap. It also can teach them problem solving skills if they're allowed to try & sometimes inevitably fail with their own ideas.

*This backwards notion of "need to work harder for success" is the antithesis of why this would help them, because that's not at all how this world works, as success is about working smarter, not harder & pushing that harms students. If thusly it's a choice of that lie of "work harder for better" is to be pushed vs "no gardens", I'd prefer the later.
