πΏβ¨ The Journey Continues: From Garden to Table β¨πΏ
Our partnership with Southern Agβs Student Garden Program keeps bearing fruitβliterally and figuratively π± Not only have our adult education students harvested fresh veggies like broccoli, kale, and carrots, but theyβve also harvested new skills and confidence in the process π₯π₯¬
The learning didnβt stop in the garden π½οΈ Our students have been busy in the kitchen, turning their garden bounty into delicious, wholesome meals that nourish the body and soul. The joy and pride they feel when they serve up a dish theyβve grown from seed to plate? Unmatched π»
Weβre beyond grateful for this incredible program that continues to enrich our studentsβ lives, both in and out of the classroom π Hereβs to many more seasons of growth and learning!
