This study examined the impact of a garden-based nutrition program on predominantly African-American students living in a low-income area and attending an inner-city school in East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana. Because the neighborhood does not have convenient access to a full-service grocery store, the limited availability to fruits and vegetables could be an

impediment to healthy eating. This population was chosen in part for the need for employment and educational summer enrichment programs in the OSBR neighborhood. As food security, food access, and public health become greater issues for concern, urban agriculture programs for youth are increasing. The Summer Experience pilot project is a model of a summer, garden-

58

based nutrition education program that can be replicated in other communities and molded to suit the community partners and student population involved.

Garden-based nutrition education programs like the ‘Summer Experience’ provide hands- on cooking, gardening, and life skills for high school students, while providing fresh produce in a ‘food desert.’ Positive results have been seen in the factors of nutrition knowledge, snack

preference and fruit and vegetable attitudes in studies measuring the impacts of garden-based nutrition education programs conducted during school hours, after-school and in community- based programs. Future research is needed to determine the effects of garden-based nutrition education programs on the short-term and long-term factors that influence fruit and vegetable consumption.
