Since 1999, J. Randall “Randy” Waterfield has led as chair of the Waterfield Group, a diversified financial services holding company. Active in charitable giving, J. Randall Waterfield donates to Canterbury School through the Waterfield Endowment Scholarships.
Located in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Canterbury School emphasizes the multidimensional development of its students as artists, athletes, and scholars. The school serves youth at all levels, from toddlers in its Canterbury Kids program to teenagers in its high school program. Recently, the high school Horticulture Science class completed the first hydroponic growth project in the Crawford Family Greenhouse. The class successfully grew lettuce with a hydroponic system developed by a prior class.
This project entailed planting and germinating seeds into lettuce seedlings and then transferring the seedlings to net pots filled with hydroponic growing medium. The students then placed the net pots in the hydroponic system’s wells and observed the lettuce during the maturation process.
The project was in response to a request for local produce in the cafeteria, and the lettuce has already been featured on the salad bar and lunch menu.
