City Greensopened at the Father Tolton Center of Catholic Charities May 28th with help from Elizabeth Glenn, age 15. Elizabeth and a group of science-achievers from Metro High School sold vegetables at our market. The film below celebrates our successful, youth-driven project inspired by her award-winning work.
In spring of 2008, Elizabeth Glenn, then a 7th grade student, took on the question of hydroponic gardening for her science fair project. She wanted to see if vegetables could really grow in only water. They did, with much success. Armed with blue ribbons and the help of her friends, they formed a 4-H club to begin teaching youth science concepts through plants --over 200 children learned to grow food at Catholic Charities programs. This project was made possible with grants from the Monsanto Foundation, the Boeing Employees Community Fund, St. Louis Community Development Block Grant, Master Gardeners of St. Louis, Captain Planet, Aerogrow, the St. Louis Mental Health Board and Steve Millett.
