MISSOULA â On a sunny Friday morning in the Montana springtime, University of Montana students are busy with farm work.
âToday we re doing lettuce and herbs and flowers, and we re also going to transplant our tomatoes, explained Maggie Gammons, while supervising her peers plant seeds.
Gammons is an undergraduate student taking part in a special school program called the UM FLAT.
The FLAT is a living and learning residency program at UM that revolves around the application of everyday sustainability.
One of the main components of the program is growing food to eat.
