Grow2Heal grows produce for hospital patients and staff and serves as a hands-on educational farm, too. Students and their teachers visit the farm regularly to learn where their food comes from. The farm hosts regular field trips that include a tour of the garden, hands-on weeding and harvesting, tasting and cooking classes. “We show them how to make lunch from scratch and try new foods,” says community garden project manager Thi Squire. There are also Grow2Heal gardens at Doctors Hospital, West Kendall and South Miami.
