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.

Students in 811Q prepared to check the pH balance of water in their vertical tower gardens.

Thank you Mr. Dean.

The students in Mr. Tyler’s class at 77K started a school farm stand that is so popular they can barely keep up with demand! This means that the students have to keep planting so that there are always more fresh greens for the community. Here they are on a recent Monday planting more seeds and taking care of their classroom grow towers.

Horticulture students at 811Q have been busy starting their seeds and getting the tower gardens up and running. Mr. Dean and the students hope you enjoy their new aeroponics webpage with crop info and pictures of the students hard at work. Great job, 811Q!

811X wasted no time getting plants growing in the different systems in their brand new hydroponics lab. Check out their towers, vine crop and NFT systems with some very happy looking plants! Shout out to Ms. Colon and the whole 811X Horticulture team.

Students at 396K @ 91 planted seeds for their new Tower Garden in their brand new STEM Classroom. Stay tuned to see their progress!

That is some beautiful tatsoi right there.

Thank you, 17X, for your photographs.

Thank you, Joe Calcagno from 721R, for the photographs.

721R has an indoor hydroponics shop that is all a-grow!

No trip to the Bronx would be complete without a visit to the 754X Chicken Coop. Big thank you to farmer Michael Masefield for lending his expertise and his classroom to the new “crop” of D75 teachers getting involved in hydroponics and aquaponics this year. Teachers got to experience four different types of growing systems first-hand, created their own data collection sheets, and received lots of useful tips and tricks for getting started. It was a rainy day to remember!
