Shovels should go into the ground within the next couple of weeks for the new half-acre garden on Press Street beside the railroad tracks and near the New Orleans Center for the Creative Arts, said Marguerite Green, the Press Street Garden manager. All parts of the creative high school will use the garden in their curriculum, and the Culinary Arts students will cultivate and cook from it.
That will include meals served by the school’s food truck, The Boxcar, which will be parked at the garden serving breakfast and lunch.
“Today we have an entirely-from-the-garden salad on the food truck,” Green said. Students plan menus and work on the food truck after school.
