Total planted:
1 pear tree
4 plum trees
15 apple trees (various varieties)
80 strawberry plants
10 blueberry plants
17 herbs (various varieties)
The produce will be used in the kitchen for breakfasts, lunches, smoothies, part of the hydration station, and possibly for elementary snacks (healthy snack cart). The herbs will also be used as seasoning in the kitchen. How exciting to introduce some fresh, and very locally grown produce to the school lunch!
