Butterfly Hope will be participating in Denver Public Schools and Slow Food Denver’s program Garden to Cafeteria where Butterfly Hope student gardener’s will harvest food they have grown all summer and sell to the cafeteria to help feed their community healthy food. The money will go back into the garden program. 3-5th graders will have opportunities for creative expression and art technique development in addition to expanding their knowledge of Garden Based Nutrition while learning all about the Mayan Culture. Our second session with CHAC (Chicano Humanities Art’s Center) will take place September 22, 29 & October 6 where Cheltenham families will learn about the ancient method of gardening with the 3 Sisters (corn, beans and squash) while doing plein air water color painting in the Butterfly Hope’s 3 Sisters garden.
