What are your future goals?
We would love a fence, hoop tunnels, a garden shed, and a greenhouse. We have four small vegetable and flower beds that were recently installed at a new location on the school property. We would love to grow food for meals in our cafeteria!
What is your most significant need?
We have a need for tool storage and IPM. We need a place to store tools and supplies that are easy for kids and teachers to get to. We have turkeys, deer, woodchucks, rabbits and chipmunks that have eaten previous gardens on the property, so we need to protect our growing efforts!
