Blume Community Garden

In 1973 Mr. Richard Blume opened the doors of Blume Scrap Metal. For years, he dealt with battery acid, recycling and manufacturing. In 2015 the building will be knocked down to create an urban garden oasis for the community. The program teaches children valuable lessons as they learn to grow food in their own community. The garden will bring the community together and build sustainable programs for inner-city youth. The Blume Community Garden plans to start growing in summer 2015.

Burdick Greenhouse

Burdick built a hoophouse in order to teach our students about how and where our food comes from. The hoop house is new to us this year and we are experimenting with what plants and vegetables are for each growing season. Currently we have the kids working side by side with staff on planting plants, watering and weeding in the greenhouse.
