Shuttersong
Shuttersong adds sound (or music) to photos.
Choice Board Creator
Choice Board Creator turns your iPad into a simple communication board.
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.

The Brooklyn Botanic Gardens hosted our PLG workshop last month. We explored the new Discovery Gardens as well as the Native Flora Garden, which is 100% pure New York City flora. Some of us had to dodge Black Walnut pods that started raining down!
Enjoy these photos of Erin Gill and her award-winning student gardeners.

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!
Thank you to Barbara Tremblay, Principal P 721K, for sending this in.
There is good news from 811X. They received a $5000 Golden Apple Award under TEAM UP to CLEAN UP as the High School Bronx winners. That is a big boost for their horticulture/gardening program.
