Ms. Perry's students prepare to plant lettuce and broccoli.
Warren County FoodCorps has gotten off to a great start! The Warren County High School Garden program has been continued with the help of Mr. Traylor's Agriscience and Horticulture classes, as well as Ms. Perry's Career Pathways course for 9th graders. These classes have been instrumental in preparing the garden for planting, planting fall vegetables, and constructing a fence to deter deer and varmints from entering the garden.
Students in these classes along with those in Ms. Jones's class have been able to use the summer produce that is still maturing on the plants. We've had a bell pepper and hot pepper tasting for all six of Ms. Perry's classes, using produce picked straight from the garden by students. Mr. Traylor and Ms. Jones have had classes able to use carrots from the garden to make a kale and carrot salad. Yum! Tomatoes, peppers, onions, and herbs from the garden made a delicious salsa for Mr. Traylor's classes as well! Two of Ms. Perry's classes got to make garden fresh and North Carolina fresh sweet potatoes using their own recipe in the WCHS Cooking Lab. Students really enjoyed their sweet potato dishes, and were able to share with administration and cafeteria staff.
