Adaptive Gardens of the Lowcountry is planted-

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009 | No Comments »

Yesterday we got Adaptive Gardens of the Lowcountry up and running at Thornhill Farm in McClellanville.  This program helps high school students with disabilities by engaging them in horticultural therapy.  The horticultural therapy aspects of the program are handled by Catherine, and Our Local Foods is involved in helping provide infrastructure and support however we can.  The students are from Georgetown HS and they did a great job getting the planter boxes filled with good soil, and then started the planting.  Stay tuned for updates as their garden grows!
