Their ministry has been offering fresh food, gardening classes, and nutrition classes to the Lebanon community since 2019, and the community is better for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alex works as a firefighter and a youth minister, and Shen\u00e9 spent over a decade teaching before their family found themselves dealing with a host of food-related challenges. The allergies, hypoglycemia, and Type 1 diabetes that the Scotts and their children had to work with prompted them to learn more about healthy eating. Their drive to serve made them want to share that knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn 2019, we started primarily focusing on ministry,\u201d Alex said. \u201cAs we formed the team, we kind of transitioned into focusing on a community of focus due to the chronic illnesses and disparity that was happening in certain communities in Lebanon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Vine Branch Fellowship works mainly in Lebanon, Wilson County has become its focal point. Alex said it was because of the community\u2019s welcoming spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve been welcomed into the school system and have been able to install a number of gardens \u2014 a number of community gardens,\u201d Alex said. \u201cWe can help others with their battles with whatever illness it is, or health disparity, they may be facing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The schools have welcomed the organization. Vine Branch Fellowship is in partnership with the Lebanon Special School District, with the goal of having a garden at every elementary school in the area. Three schools have them, and Shen\u00e9 said they hope to put in a fourth one this spring. The decision to build gardens in schools in addition to the community was intentional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHealth affects everyone at every grade level, at every age level,\u201d Shen\u00e9 said. \u201cWe want it to be a complete community learning experience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For that complete experience, Shen\u00e9 goes into the classrooms to teach kids where their food comes from, what it looks like, and how to grow it on their own \u2014 but it doesn\u2019t stop there. Lessons are given on nutrition. Older students basic knife, kitchen, and cooking skills, all led by nutritional director Leslyne Watkins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lebanon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/03\/1-1024x683.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20869\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lebanon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/03\/1-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lebanon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/03\/1-980x653.png 980w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lebanon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/03\/1-480x320.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe kind of like to think of it like a full circle,\u201d Watkins said. \u201c[We are] showing the kids different ways that they can incorporate these foods that they\u2019re either taking part in growing or that they\u2019re seeing growing in their gardens, and showing them what that would look like in real life\u00a0and how to build a healthy plate off of those things.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watkins also works with the University of Tennessee as a nutrition educator and said she often collaborates with her programs. Watkins said they have partnered on community gardens and bringing nutrition education to other limited-resource audiences. She and Shen\u00e9 teach adult classes on many of the same topics as the schools: cooking, nutrition education, and gardening.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe want everyone to be healthy, so it\u2019s not just specific to the kids,\u201d Shen\u00e9 explained.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Already, the Scotts feel like Vine Branch Fellowship has made a difference. They have heard stories of kids trying vegetables for the first time, finding comfort in sensory herbs, and even taking control of their family\u2019s home gardens. Teachers take fresh produce home from their school gardens over the summer, and families can supplement their grocery runs with homegrown fresh produce.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think everyone\u2019s mindset on eating the healthier foods has changed,\u201d Alex said. \u201cWe\u2019ve had those conversations constantly through meetings with different organizations, with individuals coming up to us within the community talking about enjoying the garden.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the summer, the organization puts on a camp for children who want to learn more. The camp curriculum expands on gardening and nutrition and delves into farms, farm animals, and other topics enhancing health education. In the future, Vine Branch Fellowship will install many more gardens, continuing the indoor aeroponics gardens in the classroom and adding pollinator gardens outside.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alex said the Lebanon Special School District, the City of Lebanon, the Wilson County Civic League, and the Wilson County Master Gardeners have been vital to Vine Branch Fellowship\u2019s success.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf we can install other community gardens out in the community, then we\u2019re all for that,\u201d Alex said. \u201cAnything we can do [with] health initiatives within the community, that\u2019s what we strive to do to make it easier and more affordable and provide people with assets.\u201d <strong>GN<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IF YOU\u2019VE driven by one of the community gardens on Coles Ferry Pike or East Market Street, or if your child has brought fresh produce home from their elementary school classroom, you\u2019ve seen the work of Vine Branch Fellowship and its founders, Alex and Shen\u00e9 Scott.
