About the Program:
Students meet once a week during the school year after school. We plant potatoes, tomatoes, garlic, tomatillos, carrots every spring, starting everything from seed. We had a good summer harvest this year. Once school started we sold tomatoes to staff and faculty and donated tomatoes to a food pantry. We also have 4 hens who live in their coop in the garden so they fertilize and rotatile the soil for next spring's garden.
