How’s the community greenhouse coming?

Here’s a report from Marion:

A HUGE thank you to Terry Whalen, Shalen, Inc. for taking the lead constructing the students’ greenhouse across the street from the high school. About 10 adults, including Chris Wilson, John Stamey and Jim Cole worked with approximated 10 students including Cody Pierce, Ryan Cole and Parker Satin. Construction started on Saturday just as the rain began to lessen and patches of blue sky brightened the day.

We continued on Sunday to experience the joists, supports and finally the door installed. Donations from Browne Lumber and Harbor Rentals helped solve problems as they arose and the work continued seamlessly. This project offers an almost endless variety of educational opportunities for all students and a future of experiential learning that will benefit our community for years to come.

Although we have completed over half the construction, one more weekend will be required to finish the project. We will again need volunteer assistance to complete the greenhouse. Please contact Marion Melville, 378.4179 or [email protected] if you would like to support this project.
