PLG

The staff and students at P 993 Q @ Frank Sinatra High School came up with this very cool design for their planters.  As you know, the bottoms of the planters need to be protected from light so that the plants don’t grow from the bottom. We love it!

Check out these photos from our teacher workshop at the Museum of Natural History this week. Greg showed us how to construct a window farm and then the teachers tried. Looks like they had fun!

Here are 2 logos designed by some of our PLG friends. Thank you, friends!

Do you have any talented artists at your school that would like to design the art for your window farms? We would love to see it! Take a picture or sent it to us and we will post it here on the website.

D 75 Needs You!

Welcome to D 75 Plant Learn Grow, a new community of New York City Schools that are going green, literally. We will be constructing urban window farms, forming partnerships with our local community gardens, and teaching others how to do it! We will be building, designing, observing, measuring, writing, and documenting our progress as we go. Please stop by to see photos of our window gardens in their beginning stages and as they progress throughout the year!
