Over the last couple of months, they have begun seedlings indoors and are now beginning more outside in a portable greenhouse. See pictures below!
Here is the storage closet on the second floor of Neighborhood House that has been converted into a baby plant incubator zone.
Here is a group of novice gardeners on the playground space planting seedlings in starter flats.Some of these seedlings will be incorporated in the after school snack program later in the year.
Several grants have been awarded by multiple funding sources to help implement this program.The next big step is to plow up a little used area of the grounds incorporating new organic matter to give the plants a hospitable environment and a chance to grow. If you have friends or relatives who are interested in volunteerism, gardening, plants, and nutrition, steer them our way to help grow our kids.
