The Greenhouse Market is Open!
|
|
Did you know that the greenhouse at the District Office campus is home to a thriving hydroponic garden being tended by students in the Manteca Adult Transition Program (MATP)? Ryan Costa, a teacher at the Manteca Adult School, led students in cleaning out the previously-dormant greenhouse to set up a soil-free hydroponic system and plant lettuce, herbs, and vegetables. Now they organize a weekly produce sale known as The Greenhouse Market!
With the county Workability Program having limited placements due to the pandemic, the greenhouse project is a valuable opportunity for Adult Transition students, who range in age from 18-22, to learn much-needed job skills. To gain workplace experience, students price products at the store, tend and harvest the plants, and practice customer service and money-handling skills during their weekly produce sales. All earned proceeds go back into the MATP to help fund skill-building shopping trips and other events for the students.
The weekly Greenhouse Market is held on Thursdays from 11:30am-12:30pm at the greenhouse on the District Office Campus. Produce is $2 per bag. Contact Debbie Lopez with any questions. Please join us in supporting the MATP!
