Earlier this week, Mount Madonna School fourth and fifth grade students took a field trip to UCSC’s Life Lab to learn more about nutrition and the role of organic gardens. Docents shared with the students about how different colored vegetables help support distinct body functions, such as memory, bone growth and eye development; they also took students on a garden ‘tasting tour,’ with students sampling chard, kale, rhubarb, kohlrabi and tangerines.
