About the Program:
Our goal is to grow organic fruits/vegetables for the OPE salad bar provided by a Whole Food grant received by OPE last year. At present the school district does not provide organic or a large variety of salad options. The grant funds would be used to purchase a sustainable and organic growing system from GROW World. The system is composed of a net-greenhouse an automated irrigation system and removable planters. Each class at OPE would be responsible for growing one crop for the salad bar
