The Ridgeview Ag Department is excited to have new soil mixing carts in the greenhouse. We received the Acorn grant from the Bloomington-Normal Garden Club at the Illinois Prairie Community Foundation. We are excited for the new carts to help us mix soil and speed up the process of filling up pots with soil. 🌱
