Katahdin students grow fresh greens for WHS cafeteria with indoor garden - from The Windham Eagle
Fresh, locally grown food has long been a priority for the RSU 14 nutrition program. But Maine’s long, harsh winters typically bring the growing season for leafy vegetables to a halt. Now, thanks to the rising popularity of hydroponic gardening, RSU 14 can keep fresh produce growing year-round with a portable, vertical indoor garden system that has recently made its way to the RSU 14’s Katahdin program, giving students the chance to become the district’s first “gardening stewards” while learning how to grow vegetables year-round.
