Milestones
3 planned deliverables · 0 complete
The garden club grows vegetables with every grade, and the cafeteria serves what we harvest. But Colorado's season is short, and most of it falls during summer break. A 20 by 30 foot greenhouse would let students start seedlings in January, grow greens all winter, and run a spring plant sale that pays for seeds and soil every year after.
