The Greenhouse Project (TGP) is a nonprofit with a mission of providing healthy produce for community members who experience food insecurity in Carson City. Green Central, which is our main site, is located at Carson High School and offers work-based learning for the students. Here, we have added an outdoor classroom, and a Native Plant Nursery & Composting Program. TGP also includes Foothill Garden, which is a collaborative project with, and located at, Carson Tahoe Medical campus. We also continue to offer our gleaning program, and provide flower baskets each summer to Downtown Carson City. Guests will get a tour of Green Central, where we have our large production greenhouse, two hoop houses, a food forest, and raised beds. They will also have a chance to tour our expansion site, across the soccer fields from Green Central, where we have two more hoop houses, a commercial vermicompost system, and where we make large compost piles from food scraps collected from local schools and restaurants.
