Explore resources to increase physical activity and nutrition

Birdsall House in Kansas City has always placed a high value on physical activity and healthy nutrition. They were excited to participate in NAPSACC in 2020 to see how they could improve on their current practices. Kelly Raines, Director, and her staff created an edible playground where the children could explore and eat straight from the plants and vines. The children love making their own snacks using the items they helped grow, such as mulberry mush and flavoring water using dandelions, mint and berries.
