The Edible Trail community nursery is working with local classrooms to grow perennial food and medicine plants to be planted in future public edible forests. We’ve worked with the TBAISD Career Tech Center’s AgriScience Program, Greenspire School, and Children’s House Montessori to grow plants in their greenhouses, and then grow them out at the SEEDS Farm. Thanks to Rotary Charities Good Works committee for the grant to make this possible!
