721X trimmed the roots and transplanted our “crop” to a new tower with fresh nutrient water. We’re planning on planting a new tower with mint, and one with flowers, which would be a new concept for us.
Thank you, Jeremy, for the update.
Teacher Kianna Swann from 168X made an amazing website of her school’s gardening adventures!
Great work Kianna!

On Friday, Ms. Benasaraf hosted the district’s first “Pick Your Own” Farmers Market at 396K @ 181.
“I wanted to share some pictures from our farmer’s market that took place during today’s gallery walk! Students and parents who visited the room had opportunities to pick tomatoes, herbs, and lettuce directly off our towers to taste and to bring home in provided bags!”
Teachers at the Math in the Garden PD investigated tree pits and a local playground for patterns, shapes, and measurement. They found math all around us!
754X J.M. Rapport School in the Bronx is the first D75 school to open an FFA chapter in NYC! Mr. Masefields’s students run a small farm with hydroponics, aquaponics, chickens, tilapia shrimp, and an outdoor garden, and they visit local farms and botanical gardens each month.
This school in Queens uses hi-tech growing containers to grow their own.
Students in 811Q prepared to check the pH balance of water in their vertical tower gardens.
Thank you Mr. Dean.
