Garden Grows at PACE Head Start

The pre-school used the grant to start a garden bed for strawberries, peas and onions.

KTLA visited on Tuesday to feature a group of students who were able to learn some valuable lessons about nutrition thanks to a $1,000 grant from the Western Growers Foundation.

According to the Western Growers Association--a trade association of California and Arizona farmers--PACE Head Start was one of 100 schools to win a $1,000 grant to launch their school gardens.
