Tower Grove Christian Academy students plant for urban garden

Fourth graders at Tower Grove Christian Academy planted vegetables at the urban garden in the Shaw neighborhood last week. The food they harvest this summer will be donated to Operation Food Search.

Teacher Geri Creel said the students are always excited for the hands-on learning the garden provides, as well as a sense of pride for donating the crops they grew themselves to those in need. The students plant the vegetables in their classrooms during the winter, and when the weather gets warm enough, they transfer the plants to the outdoor space.
