Janney sets the bar very high - organic garden mart

But it is great that they and other schools have this program. Here is a partial list of schools with garden markets. Everyone should get out there and support these kids.

So much for that "unattainable bar", eh OP?

What an odd post.

Yes, Janney has a garden market, and some of the produce comes from the school gardens. But much of it comes from surrounding farms, aka "rounded out by fresh produce from local farms."

I think it is awesome that Janney (and many other schools) have gardens - big or small - so that kids can learn that food comes from plants that you can grow.

It can be done with raised beds. Contact Sam Ullery at OSSE for advice; he runs the DC School Garden Program, and keeps tabs of what's happening in DC's approx. 93 school gardens.

You mean like the fake plastic star in a Kindergartner's pink precious tiara?

Doesn't everyone have a school garden? (Duh!)

(Without fat moms.)

And OSSE has grants available for school gardens

Untrue. We're at a Title I school surrounded by other Title I schools and every single one of them has a school garden. Y'all need to get out more.

Oh, wait...white kids have a farm and market?

Never mind that Walker Jones has been doing this for literally....years. But, yeah, Janney "sets the bar"

i don't even know what to say.

Can we finally send WOTP back to Maryland?

If we got to join MoCo, sure. We have no interest in being part of PG. That would be like time-traveling back to DC's Barry era.

Amazing how so many folks live in a little bubble, and never realize it.

Until they come to DCUM -- BubbleBusters!

But just Janney.
Janney's market closes too early unlike the others. Sorry, can't make it.

Hey, maybe something good is coming out of this stupid thread. A referendum for WOTP to join MoCo!
