    Eat, Learn, Grow: Enrichment for Underserved LA High Schoolers

    Plant the Vine uses viticulture to teach LA history and science to underserved high school students. By planting community vineyards of native and historic grapes in parts of the city where vineyards once grew, we use the vineyards to discuss social justice and climate change. The program is designed around a study by grape geneticists from UC Davis in 2012 that revealed a unique chronological sequence of three local grapes–the native, Spanish, and natural 19th-century hybrid of the two.
