And that means GROW will continue to expand its school gardens program in the summer months via the district’s summer school program, while continuing to offer nutrition and garden based activities at each school. GROW currently maintains over 450 square feet of garden space at State Road and Hamilton/SOTA elementary schools in La Crosse.
