In this study third grade students at 99 Alabama schools with and without gardens on-site were randomized to receive either nutrition education or to a wait-list control group. Multi-level models were used to assess the effects of treatment and control with and without school gardens.
RESULTS: Students attending schools with gardens demonstrated highest consumption of fruits and vegetables prior totreatment. Nutrition education alone translated into significant dietary improvements. Both gardens and education translatedinto greatest dietary improvements.
