Nicole Richie's Green Thumb
 Ramey |
She’s not your garden-variety starlet! An expectant Nicole Richie finds herself getting down and dirty during a visit Tuesday to the Helen Bernstein High School in Hollywood, where she celebrated the launch of the Environmental Media Association’s celebrity-driven initiative to provide organic gardens at schools in the Los Angeles area.
Nicole, 27, blogged on her site,
“I’ve been a board member of the Environmental Media Association for four years now, and when I heard they were taking on this very powerful awareness program, I immediately wanted to help.
The purpose of school is education, and to me, it doesn’t make sense to educate children in math, science, history, and literature, but not educate them in nutrition and their environment. This program will give me the opportunity to help mentor students in these very important subjects.
Each of [the celebrity members of the board] will be adopting a school to raise awareness for the program and help students with environmental education.”
Nicole and partner Joel Madden expect their second child in August, joining daughter Harlow Winter Kate, 16 months.
