HCPS continues to harvest and enjoy fresh vegetables during winter months

It’s the dead of winter; however, we are still harvesting and enjoying fresh veggies at Harford County Public Schools!

Melanie Kane, the outdoor education teacher at Harford Glen, has been hard at work and provided an update for what is happening at the Harford Glen greenhouse during these winter months.    

“Fifth graders from across Harford County have planted, maintained and harvested lettuce from the Harford Glen gardens. This Glen Grown Produce is then transported to various schools around the county to be served in their cafeterias. During this school year, the students have grown and harvested more than eight pounds of lettuce! Currently, Harford Glen is growing lettuce under grow lights in classrooms and in the greenhouse. When the weather warms in the spring, the lettuce will be transplanted into the edible garden beds in front of the dining hall.”
