🌱🍓 On April 24th, our elementary students enjoyed a delicious and educational FFVP (Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program) snack — hydroponic strawberries grown right here in Washington! They learned all about hydroponic plants and how they grow without soil. Meanwhile, our Horticulture students are diving into hydroponics too! They've started growing lettuce using a system called the Flex Farm, which allows plants to thrive in a water-based, nutrient-rich environment. The best part? The lettuce will be used in our very own MMK salad bar! 🥗💧 We're growing knowledge and healthy habits at the same time! 🌿 #Hydroponics #FFVP #MMKHorticulture #FreshAndLocal #FlexFarm
