Greenhouse Project ribbon cutting
Friday, December 16th at 2:30 pm on the Carson High School Campus. The ceremony is the culmination of nearly three years of planning, fundraising and construction. The Greenhouse Project’s focus on using renewable energy and ecological sustainable growing methods make it the only one of its kind in Nevada.
The Greenhouse Project will provide educational and vocational opportunities for students, youth groups and special needs individuals in a garden setting and serve as a year-round source of locally-grown agricultural and horticultural products for the Carson City community. It will also help provide fresh, nutritious produce to Carson City’s low income residents. The greenhouse operations will rely on renewable energy sources for power and use ecologically sustainable growing methods to cultivate vegetables, flowers, and bedding plants.
The greenhouse will also serve as a teaching facility for hands-on training programs that emphasize environmental stewardship, civic engagement and academic achievement. Through these programs, students will cultivate and distribute vegetables for school culinary classes and local food banks and will produce flower baskets for the downtown Carson City corridor.
The Greenhouse Project is located on the campus of Carson High School, 1111 N. Saliman in Carson City.
