About the Program: 

We are growing vegetables and herbs in our recently built greenhouses.  We then prepare and eat them with the Life Skills Teacher to promote healthy eating habits.  This program involves the third - fifth grade students at our school planting the seeds, transplanting them into the greenhouses, and harvesting the mature plants before preparing them in the life skills classroom.
