In this webinar, presented by the Growing School Gardens community on edWeb.net, our presenter demonstrated ways for you to get the most out of your existing school garden space.  Matthew Doris, Food Service Director & Chef, Tuckahoe Common School District in Southampton, NY, discussed the concept of square-foot gardening and using bigger beds for growing vegetables. He compared yields with these techniques versus traditional gardening methods, and talked about the food cost savings of square-foot gardening for your school lunch program. Matthew also walked us through the general construction of a raised bed, and provided tips on building the best raised beds for your school program.
