After two years of working with the school district, RootEd and its partners were able to build Pine Middle School a brand new greenhouse.
Donors say they want students to be able to learn how to stay healthy and grow food, in a fun and interactive way.
"It's really important for kids to be involved in the process of growing food and understanding nutrition," says Joshua Smith the President of Modular Greenhouses in Reno.
"When kids get their hands in the soil and participate in the growing of the vegetables... They actually eat healthy and eat more vegetables," says Gino Scala the CEO of Great Full Gardens.
Scala says you have to get a little dirty to experience the magic of growing your own food.
Students we spoke to say they're ready to get into the soil and work towards a healthy future
"In the future you want to know how to plant things in your own garden because it's like healthy food," says Kea Neveras.
One student we spoke to says her family does some gardening of its own, and she's excited to be able to learn how to garden as well.
"My grandparents are botanist on one side. So they really really like plants and they have a humongous garden. We've always had a garden at my house, and it's cool to have one here too," says Millie Marincic.
If you're just as eager to start growing your own good, or maybe you want to teach your kids, there are ways to do that at home as well.
"Get some little planters, or even some five gallon buckets. Start off with tomatoes, they're really easy and there's nothing like a homegrown tomato."
