Prepping beds in Prosperity Gardens

On Saturday, February 25th, students from FAA 291 worked with Prosperity Gardens to build protective tents for six of the planting beds. The tents will protect seedlings from the harsh and often unpredictable weather conditions that a Midwestern spring bring. The tents will also allow Prosperity Garden to get an early start on developing their delicious vegetable garden. Vegetables harvested in the summer months will be sold at the North First Street Farmers Market, right next to Prosperity Gardens.
