East Side School Greenhouse Expands Seedling Program

More seedlings will be available for community gardens and home growers this spring.

Starting earlier, growing more

An East Side school greenhouse is increasing its seedling output so community gardens can plant sooner and harvest longer. Educators say the program also teaches students how food systems work.

Seedlings will be distributed through partner gardens and market days.

What will be grown

  • Leafy greens and herbs
  • Tomatoes and peppers
  • Pollinator-friendly flowers

Organizers say early starts are key to maximizing Buffalo's outdoor season.
