The Southern University Ag Center’s Nutrition Programs provided two raised bed gardens to Jackson Elementary School and East Feliciana High School in East Feliciana Parish. The gardening day encouraged children to eat healthy, reduce stress, and engage in moderate physical activity. Both raised beds included bell peppers, eggplants, cucumbers, and tomatoes! Sharnet Nixon, Nutrition Educator, assisted with this Gardening Day.
