Reading Time: 3 minutes

Even before their first class, a small group of Youth Transition Campus youth wake up early twice a week to tend the campus’ container garden. They check to see how the plants are growing, and harvest vegetables and fruits that will later be used in a culinary class where some of the same young people who harvested will learn how to create entrees, desserts and side dishes with the daily bounty.
