Today, I sit down with Jessica Tullar Caroom, the amazing & determined parent who has spearheaded efforts to create the Christ the King School Garden. This great program began 4 years ago & in that time, she & a slue of others have helped to cultivate the love of gardening to the next generation & educate them on how our food is grown, tended, cooked & shared! Not only is the program there to encourage other school gardens, they are taking it one step further in spreading knowledge about community gardens, local growers, farmers markets, sustainable food programs & more!

It was an honor to hear your story, Jessica, and I look forward to seeing your seeds of gardening knowledge sown in tomorrows Lubbock-ites! It’s people like you that make Lubbock a better & more culturally diverse place to live!
