School Garden At Aspen Farms

Aspen Farms Community Garden provided a plot for students at Sulzberger Middle School in spring 1996 in the first phase of the Mill Creek Project.

Overview

Daisy Century's science class started a vegetable garden at Aspen Farms Community Garden in spring 1996 with the help of Hayward Ford and WPLP staff Rachel Sterling-Boyers. The students' vegetables won several ribbons at the Fall 1996 Harvest Show, sponsored by the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society.
