Hmmm, do you see a "growing" trend lately with the blog? Why, yes --- check out this article from Colorado were elementary and middle school students (love the name of the group "Eco Possum") are participating in a summer internship program where they grow vegetables and sell the produce at a local farmers market. In addition to learning about gardening, marketing and sales, the interns also research the nutritional benefits and uses of the vegetables! Salad anyone?
