2010/11 2nd year. Going strong. Improved on some failures from yr 1. Much better!!!!
Volunteer Participation: During the summer, families sign up for a week of watering, weeding, picking and eating. Monday nights are garden night. Whoever show up works and brings home a bag of veggies. During the school year PE classes lend a hand, and a daily enrichment class in green living uses the garden for a project.
Program Information:
What a great experience this is for our students and their families. One big word, PRIDE. The kids are eating fresh veggies, we supply tomatoes and cucumbers to the high school for their lunch program. Many parents have been "forced" to have home gardens. How wonderful.
