As a student in the Organic Gardening Biology class last spring, I personally can speak to the wealth of learning available through classroom collaboration. We learned about hands-on growing techniques, the closed loop system, the worm bin, the rocket composter, propagation, and hydroponics in the greenhouse and the new and expanding bee colony project.

All of these areas continue to play a vital role and have helped, in part, to earn this well-deserved honor for the Rock Creek Learning Garden. Thanks to all the staff, faculty, students, and volunteers who continue to make this valuable resource a shining star of sustainability for our entire Rock Creek community.
