Celebrity Chef and Harvest Dinner to benefit The Greenhouse Project

21.11.11

Schmidt’s parents have both been heavily involved in moving The Greenhouse Project forward, with his mother Brenda serving on The Greenhouse Project Action Committee, and his father Fred negotiating with Hamilton Solar who donated all the solar panels for the project. Both the project’s action committee and board are hosting the dinner.

“Mylan worked for Charlie at one time and is so talented and creative,” said Karen Abowd, project president. “We are very excited to have him and his creations be part of this evening.”

The Greenhouse Project is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, whose premise is to offer project-based learning and sustainability while providing vocational training and cross generational participation, as well as teaching core subjects such as science and math, Abowd said.

The facility is located on the campus of Carson High School and planting tables are presently being placed in anticipation of beginning operations the end of October.

The ongoing operational costs were estimated by looking at other projects that use propane, Abowd said, but it is expected that energy costs will be offset by using the ground source heat pump and solar panels.
