FWES will use the Double Wood donation and Whole Kids Foundation grant to rebuild the fence, build a door and fix the raised garden beds that were destroyed as a result from the tornado. The FWES Grows Here Garden was built by a former FWES student as his Eagle Scout project in spring of 2017 and has since taught over 400 students about plant science, hands-on gardening skills and the importance of establishing healthy eating habits. Additionally, the garden serves as the centerpiece of a year round garden club for students in grades 3-5.

"We're on a mission to inspire people to live a healthier lifestyle," said Eric Wenke, CEO of Double Wood Supplements. "Good nutrition and exercise habits begin with childhood. School gardens are a means to obtain that lifestyle and we're proud to be a part of that."
Gardens are becoming an increasingly common educational tool and for good reason: school gardens are shown to improve children's behavior and performance at school and improve their attitudes about and appreciation for the environment. Additionally, only two percent of children eat enough fresh vegetables and fruits, but children who have a hand in growing food are more likely to eat vegetables and fruits, and to be more knowledgeable about nutrition.
