Natural Vegetable and Herb Garden

The Natural Vegetable and Herb Garden was developed as a fresh, local and sustainable green initiative to supply Grand Geneva with fresh field to plate produce. It is used as an educational tool for our culinary students who tend and track the growth and development of the garden. All of the vegetables and herbs were donated by Bonnie Plants in Milton, WI.
