Chantal, the high-end cookware company with products made for healthy and environmentally-friendly cooking, announced today that they are donating kitchen products to the Alice Waters and Chez Panisse Foundation’s Edible Schoolyard program opening in Greensboro, North Carolina.
The first Edible Schoolyard was founded in 1995 in a vacant lot near the Martin Luther King Middle School in Berkeley, Calfornia. Initially, it was maintained by once-monthly student participation. Since then, it has flourished into a garden filled with fresh vegetables, fruits and flowers and now boasts highly active student participation.
Selected as the first children’s museum in the country to have an officially licensed Edible Schoolyard, the Greensboro Children’s Museum’s grand opening was May 22, 2010. The Greensboro Edible Schoolyard is a teaching garden and kitchen where children and their families can learn how to grow healthy food and create delicious snacks and meals using fresh, local and organic ingredients. The garden is carefully planned to grow a wide variety of seasonal produce that shifts and changes seasonally. (Click here for full release.)
