Project ChalleNGe Garden Project


  Cadets of Project ChalleNGe Class 32 have embarked on an exciting new project with the Mayor of Queen Creek, the Honorable Art Sanders.  The cadets are developing a Garden on the AZPC campus. Under Mayor Sander’s tutelage, the cadets are learning how to prepare and till the soil, planting techniques for various crops, which crops can be planted together and proper care and maintenance of a garden.  The cadets have planted tomatoes, onions, chili peppers and cilantro.  Soon, they will be planting cucumbers, squash, potatoes, corn, watermelon and cantaloupe.

  The garden is a source of great pride for the cadets.  The pictures below show some of the work that has taken place.  Check back to this page regularly to see new pictures as the garden develops.
