DENVER Outside Denver South High School, Steff Grogan is planting seeds the pandemic has left so many of us starving for. It s hope, it s hope, yeah, Grogan said.
It s a passion project she started last year. When the novel coronavirus closed the school and its student-run garden that provides fresh veggies for the school s food bank, Grogan and the nonprofit, Grow Local Colorado, stepped in to help. The students who usually take care of this garden, they werenât gonna be able to, so Jaclyn, who runs the food pantry here, contacted me and said, Would you guys be able to grow food here? said Barbara Masoner, co-founder for Grow Local Colorado.
