The adults also enjoyed picking out fresh-grown flowers in the college’s greenhouse, getting a free oak sapling to plant, or getting some free compost. Teens from the Bradford High School’s Leaders Club interacted with people as they waited for samples of fresh fruit juice made by Sheila Osborne of Racine, who hopes to graduate from Gateway’s culinary program in March. “I didn’t realize how many people come here,” said 16-year-old Bradford junior Mericiya Harris. “I want to do it next year. It’s fun. It gives me something to do.” “I didn’t know Gateway had Earth Day,” said 17-year-old Bradford junior Tanika Bell. “It’s fun to branch out and try different things.” The event exposed visitors to what is going on locally, like the fresh vegetables and produce grown by the college students in the Urban Farm program. That produce will be sold at a farmers market 1 to 6 p.m. Thursdays, April 28 through Oct. 13, at Gateway. “I think the programs give eating locally a good push,” said Kathy Estep, horticulture specialist support staff. “I think people are aware of the importance of building up good soil and the focus on good growing practices.” ...
