Today, we traveled to the Louis Clader Center, Biological Field Station of Fordham University, located just 35 min from Rose Hill Campus, if you drive like Lauren or Sabrina, but 25 minutes if you drive like a normal driving member of society. But that aside, we all made it up and planted almost 1000 seedlings in the Clader Centers Greenhouse!
We planted all kinds of vegetables and fruits including (but not limited to) Purple broccoli, red cabbage, lettuce, asparagus, dinosaur kale, watermelon, orange fantasia chard, crimson tomato, fennel, beets, spinach, pimento sweet peppers, midnight zucchini, now peas, and much more!
Meetings are Thursday’s at 5:30pm.
