Harvest Day at Discovery Elementary!!

This was the lettuce before they harvested.
It was GREAT to see how much lettuce was harvested today at Discovery Elementary for their "Grow Lunch" Project.  The kids were very excited to see their lettuce brought down to the cafeteria and know that when they come back for lunch they will be eating it!  The students also were able to examine the roots of the lettuce and talk about the growth of the plants throughout the weeks!  We are going to join them for lunch today and see some of the students reactions to their salads with a signature dressing the food service staff have prepared with basil they have been growing with an aerogarden as well!! Check back for updates on how lunch was!
This is the lettuce after harvest, handing it over to the Food Service Staff to prepare for lunch!
"That's a lot of lettuce!"
