About the Program: 

This grant will make it possible for us to construct and fill raised beds, store our tools and materials (currently taking up space in the greenhouse) and provide space for us to work. Our goals are to set up our greenhouse and raised bed gardens for sowing in the spring of 2014; next winter, we plan to have the greenhouse producing cold resistant crops all winter for us. We will use our produce to supply our school cafeteria and one of our local sponsors has told us they will buy all of our excess produce. (Brambles is a bakery and restaurant)
