Class Experience

Each week's lesson will focus on the benefits of eating a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables. Students will discuss the
health benefits of different colored fruits and vegetables to better understand how they help them to grow strong and healthy. Students will have the opportunity to prepare a Carrot Slaw with Pineapple, Apples and Almonds and learn how a salad made of fruits and vegetables can help them fight off certain diseases.  Students will also gain an understanding of how the variety of fruits and vegetables are grown in agriculture.  This class is a mix of culinary, health and garden science.

Here is a quick outline for each week:

Week 1 - Introduction.  we will discuss the value of growing and eating foods that match the colors of the rainbow and begin creating a dream garden plan.

Week 2 - Red foods.  Students learn about foods grown in a garden that help hearts stay healthy and other great attributes. 

Week 3 - Orange foods are full of vitamin C. Vitamin C helps us fight a cold and are also full of vitamin A and beta-carotene, which help us see in the dark and keep our skin healthy.  Students will learn which foods fit into this category.

Week 4 - Yellow foods are full of antioxidants and keep our hearts healthy and keep us from getting sick.  Bananas and yellow peppers will be featured with interesting garden facts and tips.

Week 5 - Green foods help our entire body: they keep our nails strong, help us see better, keep us from getting sick, give us strong bones and teeth, and keep away cancer.  Students will learn about a variety of leafy, stem and flower vegetables from this group.

Week 6 -  Blue and Purple foods can help our memory and contain flavonoids.  Students will learn about the fun foods found in this category.

Week 7 - White foods help keep our heart, lungs and blood vessels healthy. They also make our bones strong.  Students will be able to identify foods from the garden that fit into this group.

Week 8 - We will review the fruits and vegetables from the garden that are great for a rainbow diet.  Students will be tasked with creating a garden plan for growing plants from all color categories. This task will wrap up everything they have learned and also task them with creating an accurate garden map, including proper counting of plant placement.

Teacher expertise and credentials

Enthusiastic mom of 2 kids, Lisa Ely first learned to garden from her dad in their backyard when she was 6.  Ever since there has not been a pile of dirt that she didn’t want to get her hands in.

Lisa is creator of Learn, Giggle & Grow Garden Curriculum and the co-author of three books under the Kinder Gardens umbrella. She is currently working on her next book series and a multi-media, adventure gardening experience for families to learn more and be inspired every day.

Prior to launching her children’s and family gardening enterprise, Lisa traveled the world over and over as an award-winning non-fiction TV producer and director.  Some of her credits, like CBSs The Amazing Race, Discovery’s Garden Police and a number of shows on HGTV (including the Rose Parade) have helped her learn more about her garden passion.
 
Lisa’s always been described as a big kid and it wasn’t until she had kids that people stopped looking at her a bit funny when she would start a mud ball fight or run through the sprinklers.  She admits that she’s good at playing because she’s had years of practice! She lives by her new family motto of “We’re washable!”

Lisa loves being in front of group sharing her love of everything fun in the garden.  Some of her favorite classes are focused on worm science, eating the rainbow, tomato talk, soil on the move and root, stems, oh my!
 
When she’s not gardening she’s often with her husband watching their kids play baseball, paddling a dragon boat or playing her own version of “Chopped” to get a nightly dinner on the table!
