Lettuce Challenge 2017

Once again, through the generosity of The Stamford Garden Club,  the Stamford schools have been invited to participate in the annual Lettuce Challenge. Each year involved students and teachers receive the tiny plugs and necessary materials to start the project. Each class decides on the method of nurturing their plugs. Some are grown under gro-lights indoors,some are boldly placed outside for nature to do her thing. Photos are from one school that believes in letting nature guide the process. On June 1st, Mayor David Martin will award the winners their blue ribbons and all will be able to bring home their entries to be planted in the school vegetable garden or their home garden. The carefully nurtured plants will grow into full heads of butter crunch lettuce to be enjoyed by all. Entries may be viewed at the Government Center lobby from Tuesday, May 30-Thursday, June 1st.
