AEA Gardens Yield Bounty

Returning to my office from a late meeting today, I was surprised to find a basket of fresh greens on my desk.  The basket contained chard, lettuce, and broccoli, all products of the AEA garden.  I arrived home with the key ingredients for a tasty, healthy salad.  My daughter was very pleased, as you can see from the photo.



Thanks to the tireless work of Terri Hughes-Oelrich, Stephanie Jennings, Board of Trustees member Rudd Schoefel, as well as various parent volunteers, students, and teachers, the AEA gardens are thriving and yielding their bounty.  In addition to vegetables, there is a fruit tree orchard and herb garden, with plans to install international gardens as well.

In these difficult economic times, and considering the epidemic of childhood obesity, what could be better than to have school gardens providing our community with healthy, organic produce?



If you are interested in volunteering in the AEA gardens, the group meets every Saturday at 9am at the A Street campus entrance.  For more information contact Terri Hughes-Oelrich at thugheso@sdccd.edu
