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!

Ms. Jazzmen’s class at 77K recently revived their tower garden and planted some new seeds to get it going. Check out their engineering skills and the awesome diagrams that they sketched to show the process. Once the plants are transferred, they will train their peers in other classes in the maintenance and upkeep of the garden. Way to go 77 for starting the first in-school hydroponics work site!
