LGEG at The Center for Healthy Living
Join us at The Center for Healthy Living for Learn, Grow, Eat & GO! (LGEG), a hands-on summertime youth program created in partnership with the Smith County AgriLife Extension Office.
Through gardening, nutrition education, and interactive activities, children will explore healthy habits while learning where food comes from and how plants help support our everyday lives.
Participants will take part in hands-on gardening experiences, physical activity, teamwork, and food-based learning designed to make healthy living fun and engaging.
The program encourages children to grow their own plants, discover the importance of nutrition, and build healthy habits through movement and outdoor learning.
