Mishawaka Community Educational Greenhouse
In 2016, the City of Mishawaka entered into a partnership with the School City of Mishawaka to utilize a small “greenhouse” located on the 2nd floor of Mishawaka High School. The City was allowed access to the room to grow plant material for the City and in return, offered an after-school program aimed at engaging students in horticulture and various landscaping practices.
