THE GREENHOUSE PROJECT

THE GREENHOUSE PROJECT HAS BEEN SERVING THE CARSON CITY COMMUNITY SINCE 2010 WITH ITS MISSION OF "GROWING, GIVING AND TEACHING FOR A HEALTHIER, GREENER, SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY." WE CURRENTLY PROVIDE YEAR-ROUND FRESH PRODUCE TO LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS WHO SERVE THE FOOD-INSECURE OF OUR COMMUNITY. WE ALSO CONTRIBUTE TO THE WORK-BASED LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES OF THE CARSON HIGH SCHOOL AGRICULTURAL STUDENTS THROUGH ON-SITE EDUCATION AND SUPPLY THE CHS CULINARY ARTS DEPARTMENT WITH PRODUCE. ALL STUDENTS, INCLUDING SPECIAL NEEDS STUDENTS, LEARN ABOUT SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES BY HELPING WITH PLANTING AND NURTURING GREENHOUSE CROPS, INCLUDING THE PETUNIA SEEDLINGS USED FOR OUR ANNUAL DOWNTOWN FLOWER BASKET BEAUTIFICATION PROGRAM.
