Thriving Community Gardens Act

This bill would change a federal education law so that school districts can use Student Support and Academic Enrichment Grants to create and maintain school or community gardens. These grants can already be used for nutrition education and physical education to support healthy, active lifestyles. The bill would require the Secretary of Education to regularly collect information from school districts that use these funds for community gardens. The Secretary would use that information to identify best practices, publish them on a public Department of Education website, and update them regularly.
