Excerpt:
The Danny Woo Garden Show is a new weekly show livestreamed on Facebook that teaches preschool- and kindergarten-age kids how to grow their own vegetables while learning about plants, science, and culture.The interactive show, which launched August 26, is filmed live from the Danny Woo Community Garden every Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Garden volunteers host games and present lessons on plant and animal life cycles (like chickens). Kids and their families are encouraged to type comments and questions in the chat during the show.
In addition to the live chat, families who signed up before the show’s launch were able to pick up seed kits from the garden. The kits included cups, soil, and seeds for bok choy, cilantro, and snow peas, foods relevant to the Asian American and Pacific Islander elders who grow food in the garden. In the first show, kids planted their seeds in the cups at home while the show hosts planted the same seeds in the garden.
