The Pizza Garden concept appeals to children by growing vegetables and herbs to make a healthy pizza.

The Field to Fork Program is designed for elementary school classrooms in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg School district. When a school is accepted into the Field to Fork program they will be awarded a raised bed garden, vegetable plants, gardening education class, nutrition education class, an in-classroom culinary demonstration, and a field trip to Fuel Pizza to make pizzas topped with garden grown produce.

Teachers interested in applying or seeking more information can do so by visiting the program’s web page.

The deadline for submitting applications to F2FCLT@gmail.com is Jan. 31.
