"One of the earliest events I did as California's First Lady was to visit Alice Water's Edible School Yard in Berkeley to see first-hand what it was all about. I remember the cool crisp air, the fresh smells, but more importantly, I remember the look of joy on the face of the children after they had worked hard their garden. Over the years, I have seen how gardens have positively transformed students, schools and communities. Gardens are a wonderful resource, and I truly believe in the life lessons they teach and the lives they touch -- and that every school and community should have one. I am so proud that today in the great state of California, WE Garden in Capitol Park!" ~ Maria Shriver, Honorary Chair of the California School Garden Network
