Gardens

In our two teen developed and maintained community gardens, a vegetable garden at the Carl Von Linne School and an herb garden here at Concordia Place, many teens make their first contact with growing. Our teens engage in preparing beds for planting, learn the importance of weeding, and how to sustain a community garden. Besides acquiring gardening skills, they learn firsthand about seasonal planting, amending poor soil and how to maintain compost and vermi-bins. Gardening enables teens to experience food as a wonderful journey that starts with a seed and ends on their plate.
