it started getting popular a bit over 10 yrs ago. there were several non-profits doing these gardens. i supported 1 of them w tomato plants and raspberries. a couple doz have my lathams.

the trouble is- summer vacation. some had chix, more wanted them, but even those that had some summer programming had weeks of being closed.
even tho they were very good at getting quick stuff that came b4 school let out, and plant it and forget it stuff like potatoes or pumpkins.
i think the trend has faded.

1 more reason for the lighted schoolhouse, tho. sorta a pet peeve of mine. it’s so hard to get access to school facilities outside school time. (tho the charter around the corner IS a model of a lighted schoolhouse.)
