this is for children to learn how to plant a garden... or people like me.

Thanks for linking this great teaching resource up to the Diigo group Brianna. Another wonderful connection, which also attests to the power of online petitioning, this time from a 4th grade teacher and his class, can be found here: http://www.change.org/petitions/z-let-the-lorax-speak-for-the-trees?utm_medium=email&utm_source=action_alert. Essentially his petition, which was signed by tens of thousands of individuals, helped shape the focus of the upcoming film version of the Lorax from Universal Studios. Isn't this a great?

This is a website dedicated to teaching students about growing and preparing vegetables

This is the new chipotle commercial promoting healthy farming...I thought it was so perfect for the Omnivore's Dilemma.

Cute, easy-to-navigate site that teaches kids about food. Includes cute graphics, and quizzes to check for understanding (Sorry if someone already posted, I just came across it working on my discussion boards)

This provides a really good intro to planting your own vegetables. It covers flower pot gardening, raised gardens and traditional gardens
