The great state of Massachusetts is a magical land lying on the eastern coast of the United States. It's brimming with beautiful beaches, towering mountains, and bustling cities. But the most astounding part of Massachusetts isn't the Freedom Trail or Fenway Park, no sirree! It's the amazing kids who participate in gardening activities! Let me introduce you to a cool, imaginary character named Mighty Mole. He wears a red cape, blue overalls, and a yellow hard hat. Mighty Mole adores the dirt, just like those green-thumbed gardeners! He's got this superpower to burrow down deep in the earth faster than a speeding bullet. His mission? To help the kids in Massachusetts grow the most extravagant, enchanting, and exciting gardens in the world! Every morning, when the sun begins to peep over the horizon, Mighty Mole raps on the window panes of these budding gardeners. "Wake up, my little earth warriors! It's time to make the world greener," he calls. With giggles and grins, the kids grab their colorful watering cans, gleaming garden trowels, and quirky plant markers. They follow Mighty Mole into their garden plots, ready for a day of planting, watering, and laughing. These young, Massachusetts gardeners are known far and wide for their magical sunflowers that reach up to tickle the clouds, their plump, juicy tomatoes that sparkle like rubies, and their zany zucchinis that could double as alien space vehicles. All thanks to the energetic efforts of these kids and their hilarious, hardworking hero, Mighty Mole! So, if you ever find yourself in Massachusetts, don't forget to visit these verdant wonderlands cared for by the coolest kids in town.

As many of us know, Native Americans were the first farmers of our land. Native women were particularly influential, leading their villages and demonstrating amazing agricultural skills. They showed newly arriving English settlers how to grow corn, beans, and squash, as well as to gather cranberries. The tribes moved seasonally between established hunting, fishing, and growing/gathering sites. Today, students of all ages have the chance to learn about nutrition and the life cycle of plants and animals through field trips and summer work. People of all abilities can participate in meaningful work and contribute to their community. Thousands of students, volunteers, and community members have now been introduced to the importance of productive open space, organic agriculture, and supporting local farms and farmers. It’s thanks to the Native American’s pioneering agricultural practices that we are now able to enjoy the fruits of their labor. Their legacy is passed on to the thousands of students, volunteers, and community members who now have a better understanding of the importance of productive open space, organic agriculture, and supporting local farms and farmers.
