Thanks to the work of volunteers, Gould Academy Students, and ADCG board members & staff, the greenhouse has transformed into a vibrant growing space over the past month. We are busy sowing seeds and delivering them to hosts at the Guy E. Rowe Elementary School and throughout the community (let us know if you want to host a flat of seedlings!). Keep an eye out for details about the upcoming seedling sale!
