About the Program: 

The goal I have with this grant is to build a 18x24 ft 3 season greenhouse. The "Onions for Autism...Veggies for Vets" program is a collaborative program between our students and the veterans residing at the Montana Veterans' Home. The greenhouse will allow both parties, community members, employees and the local elementary school to start seeds early, regardless of adverse weather conditions, to use in the 1/4 acre community garden. Many of our students and the elderly residents need to be outdoor, but have sensory issues to extreme weather.
