Chelmsford Students Involved in Nashoba Tech's Horticulture Club Project

Members of the Horticulture Club at Nashoba Valley Technical High School have transformed two small areas at the entrance to the school’s restaurant, The Elegant Chef, into an expanded herb garden.

In addition to serving as an entryway to the restaurant, hair and nail salon, Cosmo Cuts, and Viking Village Mall, the herb garden serves as a cutting garden for the Culinary Arts program for fresh herbs, vegetables and flowers for bouquets.

Students who designed, built and planted the herb garden include juniors Aislin Boyden (Townsend), Erica Bradford (Littleton), Travis Conley (Lowell), Sean Defreitas (Chelmsford), Shelby Dudley (Townsend), Markus Jalbert (Chelmsford) and Tyra Mitchell (Shirley).

The Horticulture Club’s advisers are Andrea Knowles and Carley Engle.
