SAP hosts planting party

Students, faculty and staff members are invited to help with planting at the Sustainable Agriculture Project on Friday, May 25.

Organized by the student group Farm Club, the planting party will take place from noon-6 p.m, and anyone can attend, no gardening experience is required. The Sustainable Agriculture Project is located on Luce Street in Allendale between 42nd and 48th avenues.

The Grand Valley Sustainable Agriculture Project is a collaboration between students, faculty and staff members to experience sustainable agriculture. The project has been operating since 2008 and has expanded over the past few years. The project includes plants that grow outdoors and inside of a hoop house, which is an unheated structure that measures 30 feet by 72 feet and is covered in two layers of plastic to help extend the growing season.
