Tending her tomatoes

Central Lakes College horticulture student Sam Tollefson tends her tomato plant in the college greenhouse Wednesday. Jeff Dirks, horticulture instructor, explained they have been growing tomatoes, lettuce and herbs for 10 years as part of their program. Next fall, they will offer a class in hydroponics because of the interest in the local foods movement. (Steve Kohls/ Brainerd Dispatch
