About the Program: 

Built in January 2013, our new Greenhouse is a cornerstone of our food and education programs, playing several important roles. In our food program, the Greenhouse will help us serve more fresh and nutritious food to those in need. Currently, we are growing tomatoes, broccoli, beans, lettuce, strawberries and a variety of herbs.

The Greenhouse will also serve as experiential learning classroom for the many kids in our education programs, serving kids from 3 months to 24 years of age. This summer, we will enlist the help of a full-time Farm & Garden intern who will help us develop a robust curriculum to engage our students in the work of the Greenhouse. Our kids will get their hands dirty and learn all at the same time!
