Default Re: Student Farm Article

Pretty cool, Gabe! I was just wondering the other day how the farm was coming along. I'm glad to see that you are involving younger school kids. I do something similar with the garden program I run for the City of Houston's Parks Department. We have a couple of gardens that school kids utilize. One is a garden that senior citizens primarily utilize and there are two beds for the kids to grow stuff in. For some of them, it is their first exposure to growing their own food. The other garden is maintained by a group of kids that are considered high-risk for becoming involved in gang activity...so the hope is to channel their energy into something positive. Keep up the good work!
