About the Program:
I am the Career Technical Education culinary instructor for an inner city high school. We lost our horticulture program and since I have a background in horticulture the school has giving me the green houses and part of the campus to use for my program. We are establishing a student-run café where I'd like to serve the produce we grow. In addition, due to the fact that we are in a low socioeconomic area of the city and have a large Hispanic and Asian student body, I also wanted to start a community garden on campus to get parents involved in their child's school.
