Plant-Learn-Grow went to the Union Square Greenmarket! Four classes from 17x brought their students to take an educational field trip to learn about where our food comes from and why it is important to buy local food. Besides learning where our food come from, the students got to try butternut squash with rosemary and learned that there are such things as PURPLE CARROTS!
At the end of the trip, each class was given some “Greenmarket Bucks” to spend on yummy food to bring back up to the Bronx.
