Students enrolled in summer school have also started to sell the produce. Students working with City Blossoms have sold soaps enhanced with herbs that they have grown, too. Visit the Mt. Pleasant Farmer's Market on July 25, August 8, and August 22 and support our students! For more information, please contact Lee Cain.
