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.

Teachers from this year’s Garden Partnership Program kicked off the year with professional learning sessions at their respective gardens. Check out some photos of learning in action at NYBG (below) and BBG (in the post above) all about this year’s theme, Plants We Eat.

Thank you, Christopher D., for sharing!

Plant Learn Grow’s very own Cara had “first-hand” experience with this Sensitive plant, which responds to touch by folding up its leaves.

That is some beautiful tatsoi right there.

Thank you, 17X, for your photographs.
