“We’re over 1 million seeds planted and only halfway through the day!”
― Kimbal Musk, Big Green
The First Annual Plant a Seed Day, coinciding with the 2019 vernal equinox, was a huge success! Supporters across America united to take decisive action towards a healthier future by participating in #Plant a Seed Day. This year’s first day of spring, March 20th, brought families, schools and children of all ages outdoors in a collaborative effort to inspire kids to learn where real food comes from. The brilliant concept behind Plant a Seed Day is to educate kids (and their appetites) to choose fresh, pesticide-free real food over fast ‘junk’ food. The national campaign aims to raise awareness as to the vital role that nutrient-rich real food plays in one’s overall health – and, that it tastes really, really good, too. Thanks to the vision and commitment of Kimbal Musk, in concert with the superb coordinating energies of Kimbal’s Big Green team,the Learning Garden has been facilitating with the transformation of over 405 urban schoolyards in U.S. cities since 2011.About the Learning Garden
