LI Fall 2020 1 On Campus Growing It Forward
THE LYNDON INSTITUTE DIVERSIFIED AG PROGRAM started small in the summer of 2009, when teacher Jerry Leonard—a UVM Extension Master Gardener—won a grant from the Vermont Community Garden Network to establish a plot on the LI campus.
Like any good garden, the program began to grow. In 2011, LI students in the sustainable agriculture program came together to help construct a greenhouse. Solar panels supporting a hydronic heating system extended the growing season, allowing the greenhouse to winter over plants. Soon Jerry had added a botany and horticulture class to the technical course offerings that also gave students an opportunity to earn science credit. Lyndon Institute students Collin Wilkie Johnson (left) and Bradley Hulbert (center) harvest Swiss chard with instructor Jerry Leonard (right) in the campus greenhouse.
