Hello Plant Learn Growers! We have just announced an exciting year-long field investigation study to be conducted for 10 selected schools from The Bronx and Brooklyn. Each of the schools will visit their respective Botanical Garden four times throughout the year to make observations, collect data, and learn about our natural environment. D 75 staff attended the New York Botanical Garden staff training day on Wednesday to work with garden staff in preparation for our students’ initial visits. More to come!

Thanks Lori Heffez!
During the workshop, I spied some ground rainbows. Good work, sprinkler!
Preparing for the winter: composting, final harvest and winter cover crops at the 811X outdoor garden. Also, the 811X Farmers Market is up and running every Thursday. Stop by and pick up some winter vegetables and herbs!
Sneak peak.. Check out the new hydroponics and aquaponics lab and classroom at 811X!
As part of the award the school won, the New York Restoration Project built this shady spot for the 721K garden. Now student gardeners can take a break when the sun gets too hot.
Here some other photos of the garden and shed.

I have two sets of photos here. One of the garden to table event. The kale was used in the smoothies we prepared for the entire school-staff and students.
The other photos are from the 20 yards of dirt we ordered with grant finds to fill more beds.
Go big or go home!
Thanks Jeremy!
