High School’s Roof Garden Feeds Community
Sourced from WOKV
Students at Maynard Jackson High School in Atlanta are learning while also giving back to the community.
They planted and are maintaining a roof-top garden that will help feed the surrounding community.
“It’s really important to give organic produce to the community and show them what we can produce in such a small space and the benefits from it. It’s amazing,” Christian Thomas, a gardening intern, told WSB.
Thomas is one of four paid interns, along with dozens of high school students, helping tend the project. The community service he performed helped him get a full college scholarship, WSB reported.
The students are growing everything from hot peppers to tomatoes to squash.
