Lettuce Wall at GISS Cafeteria

February 20, 2014

Lettuce Wall at GISS

Inside the cafeteria: a living lettuce wall sculpture (the lettuce is used in lunches prepared by cafeteria students and purchased by students and staff).  Water and nutrients trickle through the piping, tickling the plant’s roots.

Outside the cafeteria: a table in the new hydroponics greenhouse.

      There are surprising and amazing things going on Gulf Islands Secondary. I’m pretty sure most of them go unnoticed by people who don’t get to be in the school day to day. Dedicated and driven staff, community support and great kids.

    Beautiful! You could have spun a tale about this being some new art installation at the VAG and I would have totally believed it.

    You probably want to ask to contact the Chef.
