Dr. David Karpovich, a chemistry professor at SVSU, and Mark Seamon of MSU Extension fasten the plastic to the greenhouse's frame. Seamon explained that MSU Extension is an community outreach program with offices in each county of Michigan.
Greenhouse Technician Edward Meisel and a group of volunteers met on Wednesday morning to cover the two new greenhouses located off of North Michigan Avenue. The construction is nearing completion.
A volunteer from the MSU Extension, Vickie Flynn, said that the organization is hoping to encourage local families to grow vegetables in the greenhouses once they are complete.
