Student Achievement
Farmers Market
17 March
Recently at Damascus College, the highly anticipated Farmers Market, was hosted by our Horticulture department and was held in the courtyard. This event, marked on many students’ and staff members’ calendars, showcased the hard work and dedication of our horticulture students.
After harvesting their fresh produce, students either turn it into delicious homemade goods or offered it as fresh produce for sale. Also featuring at the market, were seedlings that the students had propagated and were available to purchase for others to plant in their own garden’s. It was a lovely afternoon, as students, staff and families browsed the market, with handfuls of fresh produce to take home.
It is an especially rewarding experience for the Horticulture students, who have grown and cared for the produce, see it being enjoyed by others. Some of the produce being so popular, that it sold out within moments of the market being opened. Well done on hosting another great Farmers Market!
