Clark, City Clerk The foregoing resolution is hereby approved this 1&-n-v day of _ November 2004. Approved as to Form and legal content: JAMES F. PENMAN, City Attorney h Valtes, Mayor of San Bernardino PROGRAM DESCRIPTION In 1999 the City received a grant from the California Healthy Cities and Communities to plan, develop, and implement three (3) elementary school gardens. To ensure their success, the department established a Garden Collaborative. The collaborative consists of representatives from the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health, San Bernardino Public Services Department, U.C. Cooperative Extension - Master Gardener Program, and the City of San Bernardino Parks, Recreation & Community Services Department. The City has also developed a Mayor's Food Policy Council to improve the availability and access to fresh produce to City residents. Another three (3) elementary school garden projects were implemented in 2000. The after -school programs have established Garden Clubs for the six (6) elementary school garden projects. The students will work in the gardens two days a week, work out of Junior Master Gardener handbook one day a week, and focus on nutrition education and physical fitness one day. The children are in grades K — 6 and the program has an average of 75 — 100 students at each school site. Since the program began, the collaborative has conducted Composting, Nutrition Education, Food Handling and Preparation, and Container Gardening Workshops for parents and community members. Some of the parent participants have become so interested in gardening, that they are teaching other parents how to do Container Gardening. The parents meet regularly to share recipes, do aerobics, and they have been instrumental in gaining support from the school district to get fresh salad bars and healthy snacks at their schools. One of the new programs our department will implement this year is a low cost mini - farmers market that will be conducted bi-weekly. The students will prepare nutritional information to be handed out to the parents and community members. The students will monitor grocery store prices, learn to handle transactions with money and how to prepare the vegetables for sale. Funds raised will help fund agricultural field trips for the students. All of the gardens are in desperate need of storage containers, gloves, and hand tools. We would like to purchase a "Rubbermaid" storage shed for each garden site and a sign for each of the school gardens. As you can see, our focus is health and nutrition. We have been very successful in our efforts to promote healthier lifestyles by teaching our students gardening and nutrition education. The teachers and parents have noticed that the children are making healthy choices when eating and our department, the parents and teachers feel that is directly attributed to our program. Our department continues to improve this program and this grant will help support and enhance our efforts. uw,rut umucu rluglau yellt rippucauun rage 1 of [ CALIFORNIA FERTILIZER FOUNDATION SCHOOL GARDEN PROGRAM SCHOOL GARDEN APPLICATIONANFORMATION FORM City of San Bernardino Parks, Recreation 1.
