GEAR

GEAR interns working hard in the Gahanna Print Shop! Our interns complete all steps to completing print requests for staff in our district, package the requests & send email correspondence stating the jobs are completed.

GEAR Gardens-Intro to hydroponics: Our interns learned about planting lettuce seeds into rockwool medium. Then waiting 2-3 days for the seeds to germinate! We learned from Fork Farms once we “see green, we put it in the machine”! Everyone in the GEAR program have had the opportunity to learn so much about growing hydroponically through Fork Farms & their online lessons! They also have step by step videos on the growing process, & 24 hour support if needed.

We are so thankful to have had this opportunity through the Sustainable Agriculture Research & Education program grant!

GEAR has been very busy this last quarter! Students participated in COTA training, learned how to podcast, and made GEAR Gourdgeous Soap Scrubbers. The loofah gourds were grown in the GLHS courtyard by the garden club! ~video credit Denise Helbig
