Remember Ms. B’s Garden of Tower Gardens from our earlier post? Voilá!







Students at the 993Q Queens Innovation Center prepare for a Farm To School event with Chef George. They chopped, peeled, grated, and tasted red carrots from the farm that they mixed with fresh lettuce greens from their hydroponic tower and a homemade vinaigrette. Delicious! Check out this video they made about the event.
The latest update from Sharon S:
I am excited to share a quick update from our horticulture class. Over the past few weeks, our students have been growing different kinds of herbs and other greens, including cilantro, in our classroom garden. Today our cilantro was finally ready for snipping, and we used it to make fresh pico de gallo.
We also made tortilla chips using tortillas. The students loved the activity and were highly engaged. Each student had a specific role at their assigned station (such as chopper, mixer, measurer, and cleaner) , and they worked together to complete each step of the recipe.
I’ve attached some photos that highlight their participation, teamwork, and enthusiasm during today’s lesson.
