Specialty Crop

Sagebrush Elementary School teacher Jesse Bennick facilitates a variety of gardening-related activities at school, where students in her science and STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) classes, and students involved in after-school programs learn many farm-to-table skills including planting vegetable and herb seeds, transplanting starts, caring for plants including watering and fertilizing, and harvesting. Students utilize a hydroponic farm wall to grow vegetables, and they have been able to enjoy the fruits of their labor by eating fresh produce that they nurtured from seed to harvest.
