Despite the challenging weather this summer, we have had a great garden season here at TA. We've been excited to engage both students and community members in the garden's growing season, with activities from 7th graders harvesting our “Three Sisters” patch to the Board of Trustees designing and planting a perennial bed during their annual retreat. In the last two months alone, TA has harvested approximately 500 lbs. of produce that we've shared with our culinary arts program, the Panther Café, and the Thetford Food Shelf. Now, it is time to tuck the TA garden in for the 2023 season...
