Luther hoop house helping to raise garden produce

Several Luther College students have worked to build a hoop house on college property on Pole Line Road west of Highway 52.

The 8 foot wide by 25 foot long hoop house was funded by a donation by Luther staff member Rich Tenneson.  The facility was constructed by Luther carpenters Giles Teslow and Vernon Tuente, with help from Luther's Maren Stumme-Diers and from students Elsa McCargar, Bekky Willis and Alex Olson.

The hoop house is located next to the Luther Garden. a project that will impact food production for the college's food service and will serve as a tool for teaching students about seasonal extension of garden operations.
