Growing Friendships and Produce in the Caring Crops Community Garden
May 22nd, 2023
Last year, students from Centennial High School (CHS) approached the administration at the Applications and Research Lab (ARL) to discuss using the space next to the greenhouse to establish a Zero Hunger Hub garden. Once the space at ARL was identified, they had to determine where to donate the produce they’d grow and landed on the HCPSS Homewood Center, located on the same property. Throughout their first growing season in the fall, the Homewood Center’s food pantry received regular donations totaling 15 pounds of fresh produce. They already have planted vegetables for spring and summer growing and will continue to donate to Homewood as produce is harvested.
