Specialty Crop

Holy Name Catholic School’s Garden of Isidore—named after the patron saint of farmers—has been in production since 2017. Students, teachers, parents, and others grow a variety of fresh produce in the garden, which serves as an extension of the school’s science laboratory and classes. Students enjoy vegetables and fruits as school snacks, and when there is a bumper crop of Brussels sprouts, zucchini, and other produce it is donated to families. “We are kinda famous for our Brussels sprouts,” says the school’s office manager, Mandy Morris.

Various local organizations and companies (including Rooted in Wyoming, SWCA Environmental Consultants, and the University of Wyoming Master Gardeners) have donated time and services to the garden’s success.
