Tarboro and Rocky Mount are home to great potential speakers and program partners. Thus far, the Early Childhood Education program gave input on the materials and layout in the development of the playscape and Early College volunteers' collaborative work with landscape architect Thomas Moss, have laid.
Community Inspirations
EDGECOMBE COMMUNITY COLLEGE
The Edgecombe Community College (ECC) natural playscape has increased access to outdoor green space for many local child care centers and families in our community. Due to transportation issues for community members in the area, ECC will create accessible community garden boxes to reduce obesity through food education, access to healthy food and exercise with regular garden upkeep.
Volunteers from the local church, schools, and broader community will participate in workdays and workshops to build and maintain the gardens and learn to integrate nutrition into their curricula and lives.
