Gardening with 3^rd grade Students

Following a program developed by the Wayne County Extension Service the Agriculture Agent in Clinton County partnered with the 3^rd grade teachers at Albany Elementary School to implement a raised bed school garden. The Agent along with two high school FFA members constructed the beds at Albany Elementary. The 3^rd grade students then had the opportunity to plant and grow broccoli at their school. Each student had a broccoli plant as part of the fall garden project. The Ag Agent and FFA students harvested the broccoli and the 3^rd grade students had the opportunity to try their own produce on a broccoli pizza.
