AUSTIN, September 4, 2026 /3BL/ - Most students will go through 13 years of school without ever growing their own food — yet research shows that's exactly where healthy eating habits take root. Today, Whole Foods Market Foundation is closing that gap, awarding over $2.6 million in Garden Grants to 750 schools and nonprofits reaching more than 435,000 students. The grants fund K–12 edible learning spaces — from raised beds and greenhouses to hydroponic towers — where children discover the joy of fresh, nutritious food and develop healthy eating habits that last a lifetime.
