About the Program: 

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. We are expanding our learning to growing the plants from seeds in the classroom and after that the possiblities are endless.
