MPS Culinary & Wellness Services has free seed packets available for MPS school gardens! Inventory is limited, so seeds will be distributed to schools on a "first come, first served" basis using this request form. Seeds, along with planting instructions, will be sent to schools through district inter-office mail in the next week or two.
Seeds packets will include five types of seed: green beans, kohlrabi, butternut squash, radishes, and kale. These five items are known as the Farm to School Fabulous Five! The "Fab 5" grow well in Minnesota, are served in MPS cafeterias, and full of learning opportunities for students. To learn more about the Fab 5, visit:
