Activity – Chelsea Duff

Hazard High Schools Bulldog Garden CmPS team has had an AWESOME year. Gardening and indoor gardening has had some minor setbacks due to weather and location change in the middle of the year. These kids are so dedicated that these setbacks did not hinder their progress.
Issues arouse in the middle of the year about the location of the garden and access to it during schools hours. It was a team decision to move the garden behind the High School where it could be tended to at any time. This was probably one of the best decision that the group had made for the Garden. Not only could we provide care for it all day long, but other kids from different classes began to help as well. It has became a huge hit not just for our little group of (8) but for the WHOLE school.
The City of Hazard came out and brought us some fresh riverbed soil and seedlings were prepared by HHSBG and distributed among the grade schools throughout Perry County.
This project TRULY was/is a COMMUNITY problem solving tea. Many people came together to make it all happen.
We owe many thanks to Emily with the Farmers Market she donated TONS of items to our garden along with her knowledge of Gardening. Many thanks to KVEC for giving us the opportunity to feed the kids throughout the school with their generous grants. We hope to get bigger and better next year by allowing students who ‘want’ to participate, participate. Everyone will have a helping hand in caring for the garden during summer break. Students know they can come and pick whatever they want from the Garden at ANY time.Cant wait to do it again next year!
