About the Program: 

River Woods Elementary teachers have a different kind of class pet: an edible class plant. Using grow light systems, they have grown tomatoes, basil, lettuce, mint, and peas. Kids are allowed to pick a snack directly from the vine and enjoy the daily surprises and/or bounty that the plants offer.
