Program: "The Edible Classroom"
Speakers: Grace Julian and Beth Horst
Location: Bachman Center at Homestead Village
The seed for The Edible Classroom was planted several years ago when founders, Grace Julian and Beth Horst, saw an opportunity for their respective elementary schools to create something beautiful from empty, unused pavement on school property.
