How To Participate in The Good Garden Food Drive
1. Form a Team
A team can be a class, a grade, a school, an afterschool program, a club or even the kids in your neighborhood.
2. Register Your Team
Registration begins In September 2010 at www.thegoodgarden.org. Registering will allow you to share how much food your team has collected. You need a
team leader who is an adult older than 18 years to register your team.
3. Read The Good Garden and Reflect on Its Key Lessons
After reading The Good Garden, ask your students for their ideas on why some people go hungry. Reasons might include: climate variations which
affect local food production, living in a poor part of the world or a city where there is little money to buy food, living in an area destabilized
by wars or droughts, or not owning land where food could be grown.
4. Explore the Issue
From September to December 2010 explore the issue of food security and the needs in your community and around the world with your team using
activities from www.thegoodgarden.org.
