COOPERSTOWN – A dozen volunteer gardeners are at work at this hour, preparing the soil for the seventh season of the Kid Garden behind Cooperstown Elementary School.
Angela Farone, who assumed leadership responsibility from Kristen Griger this year, said “everything” is being planted, from carrots and kale, to “lots of lettuce” and acorn and butternut squash.
The Clark Foundation’s Mohican Farm on Route 80 has been growing seedlings in its greenhouses, which youngsters will plant behind Cooperstown Elementary two weeks from now, Farone said.
Over the summer, fresh produce will be provided to the Cooperstown Food Pantry; in the fall, it will be served in the school cafeteria.
