Nutrition Gardening resources

g*

Your search for information on community gardening and nutrition is 
important: it would open up nutrition grants for community gardens in 
low-income neighborhoods if we could connect the two.  Please consider 
sharing your results.

I have not found much data on this in the past, but there is one good 
example in the Pacoima WIC office.  There was an LA Times Article about it 
that I clipped and didn't write the date on, but its title is "Harvest of 
Health, Garden gives low-income women in federal program the opportunity to 
grow their own nutritious food"  You could access this article on the 
LATimes website.  It talks about people in their garden taking an 
additional serving of vegetables, and there is a quote from Gauri Rao, a 
nutritionist for Public Health Foundation Enterprises, which runs Wic 
programs for many Southern California cities.

Good luck,
