Lettuce grown from Five Hawks Elementary’s new tower garden.
Lettuce sprouts from a tower garden at Five Hawks Elementary School.
Lettuce and other plants will be harvested in Five Hawk’s new tower garden.
A tower garden stands at Five Hawks Elementary that was given to the school through a SHIP (Statewide Health Improvement Program) grant.
The Child Nutrition Services team at Five Hawks Elementary have begun to harvest their first lettuce plants from their new tower garden, according to a press release by Prior Lake-Savage Area Schools.
By mid-April the team had about 25 lettuce plants, and about a half dozen basil plants growing in the tower. They also had about 100 more seeds planted.
According to the press release, once those seeds germinate, they’re ready to be put under the lights in order to grow big enough to plant.
Five Hawks received the Tower Garden through a SHIP (Statewide Health Improvement Program) grant which supports community-driven solutions to expand opportunities for healthy eating and active living, according to district officials.
