Glenbard North High School students had a fantastic time in the gardens this month. Eleven students harvested tomatoes and planted fall seeds, including beans, carrots, beets, and spinach. The enthusiastic group also conducted a fun experiment with homemade seed tape for spacing, planting half the bed with seed tape and half the traditional way to compare results. What a wonderful group and a successful gardening adventure, growing for themselves and their local food pantry. We're glad to accompany these Panthers on their gardening journey. ?#EveryoneDeservesFreshProduce #gardenworksproject #foodsecurity #foodaccess
