Product Description
One of America's most influential chefs, Alice Waters created a revolution in 1971 when she introduced local, organic fare at her Berkeley, California, restaurant, Chez Panisse. Twenty-five years later, she and a small group of teachers and volunteers turned over long-abandoned soil at an urban middle school in Berkeley and planted the Edible Schoolyard. The schoolyard has since grown into a universal idea of Edible Education that integrates academics with growing, cooking, and sharing wholesome, delicious food. With inspiring images of the garden and kitchen and their young caretakers. Edible Schoolyard is at once a visionary model for sustainable farming and childhood nutrition, and a call to action for schools across the country. (Hardcover); 80 pp ; 80 color photographs; Book size: 8 x 10-1/2 inches

Great Idea! March 19, 2010

This book is more like a brochure than a book. I gave it 5 stars as if I were rating an appeal for change, not a book. Waters advocates creating working farms in schoolyards, and incorporating education about food, farming nutrition and history into the venture. This worked in a Berkeley Middle School, and it could work elsewhere.
It's a great, timely idea that reaches hard to connect to teenagers in a profound way.

Alice Waters is a true pioneer. From great-tasting local sustainable food for us to organic gardening and a hands-on understanding of real food for our kids. [...]
Inspirational book for those working with schoolchildren in an outdoor setting. July 14, 2009

I purchased this book because I am working with a school here in Decatur, Ga, to begin a neighborhood garden. Alice Waters, inspired by the French example of good gardens as the basis of tasty cuisine help start a garden at a local middle school in Oakland, CA. This book describes the first years of the garden-a wonderful, messy project which includes the kids' written reactions and wonderful recipes. Get inspired!
