Critters in the School Garden
from The Farm to School Podcast Hosted by Rick Sherman & Michelle Markesteyn
So you have a school garden. You grow beautiful fruits and veggies. Great! Now what? Once you've mastered your "green thumb" and want to try the one of the next steps in school gardens, many programs are having success with raising chickens (and other "critters") in the school garden. We talk with Sam Ullery from Washington DC's Office of the State Superintendent of Education, as he was the first person to explore the legal and safe way to do this at a state agency level. Show notes and much more will be available later this week on our Oregon State University hosting site. Get there by searching "Farm to School Podcast OSU."
