Mr. Eldridge’s eighth grade enrichment class has been working with Megan Haney and Tom Lapham of Marble Valley Farm on Route 7, just south of town. Students have been learning about plants and their unique cell structures that generate their amazing growth. They have been helping Megan and Tom sow seeds for Marble Valley and for their own home gardens. |

The greenhouse is looking very green this spring. |

Tom guides students as they transplant several tomato varieties for their home vegetable gardens.

plant the seeds! |
