Repairs and renovations put the Edible Gardens at Princeton High School in a construction pathway, so several of the raised garden beds were put into storage. There are two raised beds/boxes that Principal Jessica Baxter calls the Memorial Gardens, on the west side of the school. Topsoil, taken from the garden area, is there as well. The area outside the English office is planted with edibles and is near a water supply.

Empowering students, one tasty homemade cracker at a time
JW Cooks+Gardens, our 6-week seed to table after school program, is under way! Thanks to our wonderful Chef Michelle Fuerst and to Priscilla Hayes, our edible gardens educator with the greenest thumb ever. The students learned to make crackers from simple ingredients — flour, butter or oil, seeds and herbs and spices. Next week, they are in the garden. Among the comments: As they were grinding seeds: “That smells strong! But really good!” As they were kneading the dough: “This is like Play-Doh!” As they were cleaning up: “I’m going to drop tech and take Food Science.” As they were walking out the door: “This was the best class ever.”
