Hi Sarah,
Last year at this time I started a childrens vegetable garden with
12-15 year olds at the Middleton Teen Lounge/Middleton afterschool
program. I don't know if they continued the garden this year or not
but the kids seemed to have a great time. I can't remember the phone
number but if you call the city of middleton and ask for the number
for the teen center you should find it. If I can give you any
information please let me know
