Stephen Ritz and the Greening of the South Bronx

When I was in school, some of our teachers were still trying to keep us busy digging in the garden. But it usually did not go beyond planting a bed of marigolds. I assume that they were rather motivated not by a good intention, but by the leadership of our school. But you can thank them for that, too, because we liked it.

In my son's kindergarten, the teachers turned out to be more resourceful and in summer groups, children dig in the beds with great pleasure and then harvest crops. And in winter, green onions and garlic are grown in a group. Therefore, my child knows where the vegetables on our dining table come from, and from this digging in the ground brings him even more pleasure.

The same thing is done by an ordinary teacher from the South Bronx, not the most prosperous area of New York, only on a much larger scale. Thus, it not only allows children to learn what healthy food is and where it comes from, but also creates jobs. It helps children from families who are below the poverty line and children with disabilities to feel on the same level with everyone. And they see how the world around them changes under the influence of what they do with their own hands.
