Over the summer, Spring Creek Homesteading Fund awarded Nittany Valley Charter School a small grant to help them upgrade their school garden with some new raised beds, some gravel for the paths, and some soil.
NVCS CEO Kara Martin sent some pictures of the garden early in the season after the gravel went down and the new beds went in, and some more pictures recently showing their crops. It looks great and according to Kara, the kids had a blast tending the gardens and eating the produce.
