Under the supervision of our youth employment and garden staff, these young residents learn how to harvest and display produce, set fair market prices, hawk their goods, make change, keep records, and talk about Groundwork Somerville programming to customers.</p> <p>What veggies are missing from the market? What should we grow this season? Help us plant crops that customers want! </p> http://forum.groundworksomerville.org/topic/what-are-your-favorite-things-about-green-team#post-9 Thu, 10 Jun 2010 19:20:57 +0000 Tai 9@http://forum.groundworksomerville.org/ <p>The Green Team, a green job corps for high school youth in Somerville now in its fourth year, continues to get bigger and better. GWS will host three teams of six to eight youth in the summer of 2010, and will focus on two significant environmental challenges in our community: the lack of green, open space and the lack of access to healthy food.</p> <p>Green Team Members: What do you like about Green Team? How has your experience affected you? What should the Groundwork Somerville Community know about the program? </p> http://forum.groundworksomerville.org/topic/somergreen-festival-needs-somervillemedford-environmental-groups-and-businesses#post-8 Tue, 30 Mar 2010 20:37:07 +0000 jlawrence 8@http://forum.groundworksomerville.org/ <p>Hi folks!
