At the 15^th annual harvest festival at the Child Study and Development Center (CSDC) last Thursday (Sept. 20), UNH’s youngest students of agriculture celebrated fall with parents, teachers, and friends. Between mule-drawn wagon rides, scavenger hunts, homemade snacks, and face-painting, the junior farmers picked from the community learning garden, eagerly sharing the fruits (and vegetables) of their labors.  

The community learning garden is part of the CSDC’s Growing a Green Generation Project supported by a grant from the HNH Foundation and previously by the Anna and Raymond Tuttle Environmental Horticulture Endowment through COLSA. The collaboration with horticulturalists and students includes a gardening curriculum and community outreach activities.
