This money comes from the Pat Tillman Foundation.<br /><br />Beyond finances the garden has been booming, bringing forth pounds of fresh greens and salad...much has been harvested, and much will need to be replanted. We thank all of our dedicated members, and hope to have your continued involvement with the LGC !!!<br /><br />So far this spring, we have harvested:<br /><br />For The Culinary Department and Food Services:<br /><br />10 lbs Spring Mix<br /><br />10.5 lbs Mustard Greens<br /><br />7.5 lbs Chard<br /><br />1 lb kale<br /><br />2 lbs Baby Bok Choy<br /><br />4 lb Tat Soi<br /><br />2 lbs Arugula<br /><br />16 heads lettuce<br /><br />For a total of 27 lbs of greens, 10 lbs of spring mix, and 16 heads of lettuce!<br /><br />WOW ! and its only May 20th !!!!!<br /><br />We also harvested and donated 3 lbs of spring mix to The Womens Center, for families of students in need.<br /><br />The LGC provided spring mix and greens for our Earth Day Celebration, harvesting 3 lbs of spring mix and 5lbs of greens.<br /><br />Students volunteering in the garden have picked and eaten over 10 lbs of fresh spring mix and greens.<br /><br />Bringing our early spring harvest totals to well over 50lbs !!!!!!!<br /><br />Thank You LGC !!!!!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/43231307477610861-1074693381677028031?l=learninggardenclub.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>LCC Garden Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06219785184757475542noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-43231307477610861.post-61944965254712060232009-05-12T15:54:00.000-07:002009-05-12T15:59:48.520-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6tTJ-j9iFeE/Sgn-3R2fSSI/AAAAAAAAAAM/B7VhPjYozmc/s1600-h/potatoes+coming+up+strong.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6tTJ-j9iFeE/Sgn-3R2fSSI/AAAAAAAAAAM/B7VhPjYozmc/s320/potatoes+coming+up+strong.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335075459235268898" border="0" /></a>Greetings Fellow Gardeners!<br /><br />Thanks for visiting our Blog.<br /><br />Inside this blog you will find loads of information, pictures, and updates about Lane Community College's Learning Garden!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/43231307477610861-6194496525471206023?l=learninggardenclub.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>LCC Garden Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06219785184757475542noreply@blogger.com0
