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.
The latest update from Sharon S:
I am excited to share a quick update from our horticulture class. Over the past few weeks, our students have been growing different kinds of herbs and other greens, including cilantro, in our classroom garden. Today our cilantro was finally ready for snipping, and we used it to make fresh pico de gallo.
We also made tortilla chips using tortillas. The students loved the activity and were highly engaged. Each student had a specific role at their assigned station (such as chopper, mixer, measurer, and cleaner) , and they worked together to complete each step of the recipe.
I’ve attached some photos that highlight their participation, teamwork, and enthusiasm during today’s lesson.
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!
