Documentary project provides children with gardening supplies and cameras

In 2010/11 “Leave It Better” has given gardens and cameras to 10 schools in New York

Kids are building gardens, sharing stories, inspiring friends and family to change the way we relate to our food, to our community and ultimately, to our planet.

Our unique documentary project provides children with gardening supplies and cameras, and allows them to share the story as they learn to compost, plant seeds and ultimately harvest food they’ve grown themselves.

Throughout the project, footage will be shared on Leave It Better, so you can follow the incredibly inspiring youth who are the stars and co-directors of our documentary.

Starting in New York City, we will see the story grow organically as kids share stories with other youth gardeners in other states, countries, and continents.

In the 2010-2011 school year, our pilot/research year, we’ve given gardens and cameras to 10 schools in New York. We’re aiming to raise enough money to provide more gardens and more cameras to more students, allowing us to expand the scope, audience and impact for our story when we begin production next school year.
