Slideshow: Students plant new garden courtesy of Kohl’s Mindful Me program

The vegetable garden at this central Phoenix school is the first to be built to help lower the incidence of toxic stress among Arizona’s children thanks to Kohl’s Mindful Me, which is a partnership between Kohl’s, Phoenix Children’s Hospital‘s Center for Family Health and Safety and the Mollen Foundation.

Sixth-graders Antonio Lara said he liked digging the holes and planting the seeds, while Madaly Carrasco said she liked painting the stakes to mark what was planted and Sherlynn Zayas said she couldn’t wait to taste the food that they grew.
