October 11, 2017: Students at Olive Elementary School had a big day today, harvesting produce from their classroom garden towers that will be washed and served in the school’s cafeteria tomorrow.
Students will enjoy Swiss Chard, Bibb Lettuce, Kale, Basil and mixed greens at the school’s WaveCrest Cafe on Thursday, as well as bragging rights for being top notch horticulturalists.
The vertical garden towers use a hydroponic growing system that allows the plants to be grown without soil, using a cascading water system to bring nutrients to the plants.
