At the center of the partnership is a first-of-its kind, 600-square-foot educational greenhouse, designed as a year-round learning hub where children, families and community members can participate in workshops that connect gardening, nutrition and environmental education. The greenhouse will increase access to fresh food knowledge and create new opportunities for experiential learning that support lifelong healthy habits. Together, the Middle Country Public Library and the Sprouts Healthy Communities Foundation will deliver seasonal events and year-round programming, including the Let’s Eat: Farm to Table Exhibit (opening February 21), Spring and Fall community festivals, hands-on gardening and nutrition workshops, and Green Teens volunteer opportunities.
