The American Heart Association is celebrating the success of their Teaching Gardens program this month, with more than 200 gardens currently funded nationwide. The program, implemented in elementary schools in 30 states, has taught approximately 84,000 first- through fifth-graders how to plant seeds, nurture growing plants and harvest produce in gardens across the country, while learning the value of heart-healthy eating.
In celebration of National Walking Day, the American Heart Association is encouraging Americans to get fit and have fun by launching “Show Us Your Moves.” The month-long Instagram promotion encourages consumers to submit photos of their favorite fun physical activity on the popular social media site.
