Students in Anna Lawrie’s program were very excited to grow their own plants for food. She wanted them to figure out how they could work together to produce food for themselves, their families and their community. With the help of Clare and Claudio of the Community Food Bank, they researched plants (fruits and veggies) that would grow well in the Southwest region during winter, prepped and re-designed the garden area, and planted the space using both seed and seedling starts.

Students cared for their garden and were indeed able to harvest their own food. In the coming year, they plan to add to this new community resource by planting an orchard.
