The 24 x 48 feet circle house is the essential thing of the entire thing. Here, the kids, together with the adults plant and gather carrots, spinach, kale and many different vegetables. Simultaneously, they all take in the advantages of growing your own greens and the process that it takes for a seed to wind up plainly a full-developed bit of eatable plant! Look at it and perhaps, if you are motivated by what you see, help in creating a similar project in your own community.
“Our spring hoop house harvests are substantial. We have early strawberries, bushels of spinach and baby kale, lots of chives and parsley and snow peas. The plastic roof is removed for the summer months to avoid overheating. … Most greenhouse farmers cover most of their indoor space with plants. We are growing kids as well as plants, so only half the space in the greenhouse is covered with growing beds. We have a space to congregate at one end. … While every student in the school devotes some time each year to growing lunch, each year the third graders are our weekly farmers.
