Purple Potato Plants

Who would love to add some color to their lunch? Saint James Community Garden Coordinator, Ms. Elizabeth Harber, led several elementary school students in the planting of a unique, brightly-hued variety of sweet potato. Purple potatoes contain antioxidants and are an excellent source of vitamins. They are delicious roasted, steamed, or even made into chips!

Saint James School’s community garden provides a vibrant, outdoor space for learning, enhances opportunities for community-building and recreation, strengthens lessons on environmental stewardship, and gives students ownership in growing healthy produce. #wearesaintjamesschool
