About the Program: 

The YEDA garden currently includes tomatoes, several types of peppers, and a large planting of basil. In addition to these raised beds Peter and the students have created an herb garden containing three different types of basil, rosemary, garlic and onion chives, thyme, tarragon, chocolate and spearmint mint and oregano. This project would allow the team to expand their vegetable offerings, since there is ample room to expand the number of raised beds on the school property. Long-term plans would be to construct a small greenhouse, which would be built by staff and students together, and would present an exceptional opportunity for vocational education.
