June 2015

First, the School Garden earned two grants. One from the Wisconsin Medical Society Foundation to fund a garden grid irrigation system. This system corresponds well with the raised garden bed boxes and square foot gardening method employed by the School Garden by providing the grids for planting and delivering water directly to the roots for healthy plants.

Hello, my name is Ashley Kay Ann Judd, daughter of Jeff and Melanie Judd. I am a sixteen-year-old sophomore at New Glarus High School. I grew up on a farm about seven miles outside of New Glarus, where I was raised around the dairy industry, cats, dogs and beef cattle. My brother and I have always competed with each other, whether it was with homework or who could do the most chores around the farm, it was always a competition.
