Veggie Seedlings at Farmer's Market


Get your garden going with veggie starts grown on Treasure Island by high school students! Students from Life Learning Academy are having a plant sale at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market this Saturday from 8-2.  The students have written an announcement, which is below and attached. They are offering special deals for other school or community garden programs.
  
Their booth is part of the Schoolyard to Market program, a project of CUESA and Urban Sprouts in which several SF public high school classes are growing food in their school gardens, visiting farms, learning about sustainability, and selling what they've grown at the market. There are 3 more sales days coming up at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market:

Saturday, April 27: Life Learning Academy with plant starts 
Saturday, May 11: June Jordan School for Equity with vegetables, herbs, and plant starts 
Saturday, May 18: John O'Connell High School with vegetables and herbs
  
Please come and support them! It is a great experience for the students to interact with supportive and friendly customers like you. The booth is open 8-2 on the Saturdays listed above, and will be located in the driveway on the south end of the Ferry Building (across from Roli Roti). Pass it on!


Warm wishes,

Julie
