Raised 'em Myself

US School Garden - Raised 'em Myself

Horatio Alger type school boy showing the vegetables grown in his school garden. Rare.

WWI

c. 1918

The United States School Garden Army (USSGA) was created in 1917 as a way to encourage gardening among school children. By encouraging children to garden, the U.S. government hoped that a food crisis might be averted, and that America's food system might become more locally-oriented and sustainable. The USSGA was funded by the War Deparment; food was, and still is, an issue of national security. By Armistice Day, several million children had answered the nation's call to service, enlisting as "Soldiers of the Soil."

They are not just limited to adults patients they also have a tendency
to children, to put it differently they aid those patients in all avenues of life.
You become an educator to your patients and have the
daunting task of being sure they receive
all the support and preparation they require to return home.
A recovering therapist would be more capable of role modeling how to stay clean and
sober.
