Fifty-two South Carolina schools, including 15 in the Upstate, won Farm-to-School grants Tuesday to plant on-site fruit and vegetable gardens.

This pilot program provides schools with $3,000 grants to plant gardens and get healthier foods in the schools.

Students will take lead roles in developing the gardens. Clemson University and S.C. Agriculture Department representatives will coach the students. The food grown will be used in school cafeterias and classrooms. (More)
