MEMBER TO MEMBER for the preschoolers to dig in! Each class features seasonal planting and harvesting of vegetable varieties that can be grown in containers or small spaces and don't require a traditional in-ground garden. Children always receive seeds or plants to take home from the class to plant in their own gardens and also get to eat the vegetables they have helped to grow. All the produce grown at Mallard Creek Recreation Center is either used in the programs or given away to preschoolers or senior citizens, Since 2015, 144 pounds of vegetables and 210 quart-size bags of assorted greens have been grown, either in raised table beds, containers or a hydroponics unit, at the Mallard Creek Recreation Center. 24 Parks & Recreation | J U N E 2 0 1 8 | W W W.
