The girls have been taking shifts weeding, watering and harvesting lettuce, radishes, cherry tomatoes, zucchini, caulifl ower, arugula and summer squash for distribution to local food banks. Project Greenhouse began last November when more than 100 students, staff and family members, assisted by volunteers from Home Depot in North Bergen, joined to construct a greenhouse at the school’s Demarest campus. Students planned and designed the greenhouse, complete with solar panels for power, stor- age areas, a self-watering system, and a fence.
