About Us
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This organization was started in spring 2010 by a handful of Ohio State students dedicated to educating youth about the environment and teaching them about their food. What began as a class assignment to create a hypothetical service project showing The Dow Chemical Company's commitment to sustainability turned into a reality when Dow decided to fund the idea.
We currently have an edible garden established at Indianola Informal and visit the students in their after-school Latchkey program every Friday during the school year. Food from the garden is used for snacks in Latchkey, and the garden serves as a teaching tool for Growing Green as well as for teachers throughout the school.
A mix of Ohio State students, Indianola teachers and staff, and parents of Indianola students have made this effort a reality by investing their time and energy and by working in collaboration with each other.
