vegetables. Depending
on the time of year, fava
beans, basil, tomatoes,
collard greens, garlic,
broccoli, lettuce, carrots,
cabbage and shallots
are harvested from the
modest plot of land be-
side the school.
The additional garden
space now adds more va-
riety to that list.
“We planted what I’m
calling ‘the Four Sis-
ters Garden,’” said Matt
Hall who manages the
school’s garden, “which
is sunflowers, corn,
beans and squash.”
Among the varieties,
blue sweet corn, green
beans, lima beans, black-
eyed peas and various
types of winter squash
have burst through the
soil and now fill the plot
as sunflowers stand tall
above the vegetables, at-
tracting pollinators.
Hall said he takes his
inspiration for the new
garden space from Na-
tive American growing
techniques as some of
the corn and bean vari-
eties were traditionally
grown by regional tribes.
“Not
grown
on
mounds like they did

traditionally,” he said,
“more grown in straight
lines.”
The impetus for the
garden expansion was
twofold.
Hall, who also runs
the school’s Kennedy
Conservation
Corps,
wanted to provide an
educational opportunity
for students to see a gar-
den that demonstrates
traditional, native agri-
culture.

In an unlucky turn
of events, however, the
spread of the coronavi-
rus this year shut down
school activities before
outdoor
horticulture
lessons could fully com-
mence.
After many requests
and developing a plan to
keep crew socially dis-
tanced, Hall was able to
convince officials to al-
low a few students back
on site as Oregon be-
gan its phased reopen-
ing. Crews of three or
four students at a time
got the chance to plant
seeds and tend to the
new land recently tilled
with the help of South
Lane School District
board member Jerry
Settelmeyer.
“I wouldn’t have been
able to get this far if I
hadn’t been able to get
the students back on
site,” he said.
Hall said he also owes
a good amount of thanks
to Oregon Youth Corps
(OYC), a statewide
program which grants
funds for youth to gain
stewardship experiences
through work outdoors.
“And I wouldn’t have
been able to do this
without the students be-
ing paid by OYC to help
me,” he said.
OYC recently pay
rolled students to work
over last winter to plant
trees in Silk Creek Park
as well.
In addition to the ed-
ucational benefit, Hall
also decided to expand
the garden due to con-
cerns over the impact of
the coronavirus on the
nation’s agriculture in-
dustry.
“My other concern
was that temporary
work visas are not being
granted to people south
of the border,” he said.
“So the people this coun-
try’s agriculture relies on
to plant and harvest and
process the crops are not
coming into the country.
I don’t feel that Ameri-
can citizens are going to

In that case, Hall wor-
ries that food prices may
increase in the coming
months, putting extra
strain on families al-
ready struggling to make
ends meet.
With the additional
food production at the
school’s garden, Hall
hopes to do his part in
mitigating any local im-
pact.
“If this works, then
there’s going to be an
abundance of food here,”
he said.
The community has
already been benefiting
from the existing gar-
den. Ripe vegetables are
regularly taken to food
distribution groups such
as the Rural Organizing
Project, Soup’s On and
Community Sharing or
otherwise distributed to
people who need them.
Wanting to see more
fresh produce on the

take to the Rural Orga-
nizing Project.
Two families eagerly
accepted his donation
before he got through
the door.
“And that, to me, it
makes it worthwhile,” he
said. “I know there are
people that are going to
use those cabbages and
eat them up.”
The garden’s vegeta-
bles are even used with-
in the school itself in sit-
uations such as camping
trips.
“So it saves a lot of
money that way and
they get good, organical-
ly grown food,” Hall said.
The new garden space
will likely see green
beans ready for harvest
in a matter of weeks,
with the other beans,
corn and squash com-
ing in the succeeding
months.
“There will probably
be corn that the students
could eat if they let us
have students back on
site in the fall,” said Hall.
As new models of ed-
ucation are being devel-
oped with remote learn-
ing and social distancing
in mind, it remains to be
seen how much hands-
on experience students
will have come fall. The
garden expansion may
also provide more edu-
cational opportunities
for the students at Al
Kennedy High School
as Hall intends on in-
corporating more CTE
(Career and Technical
Education) training into
his curriculum.
Whatever the out-
come, Hall is eager to
keep plants and garden
space growing in the
years to come.
“I could always use
more space,” he said.
