Patton Tower Gardens

Mr Hisler and Ms Ballard are happy and proud to announce the installation of the Tower Gardens, the next phase of the FCS Garden Initiative at Patton Middle School. You won't be able to miss them as there is one in each cafeteria and one in the FCS cooking lab. Just watch them grow, as they will be yielding fresh lettuce and herbs within a month. Current FCS students helped to build, check the PH balance and move each of the units in place. Enjoy the sound of gentle rain and the Medusa lighting system which help our gardens to grow aeroponically!
