About Safe Harbor After School Program/Growing Up Green

Growing Up Green is coordinated through the Michigan City Area Schools Safe Harbor program to teach children how to create a healthy community lifestyle through gardening, to have healthy food environments in our communities where children have equal access to healthy and sustainably produced food and ornamental plants, and where food literacy is supported through a range of educational and hands-on activities.

Growing Up Green is supported by several local partners including Michigan City Area Schools, Purdue Cooperative Extension, LaPorte County Soil and Water Conservation District, Visit Michigan City LaPorte, Beachside Garden Center, Green Spirit Farm and LaPorte County and Porter County Master Gardeners.
