Check out the “sub-irrigated planters!”
Thanks, Greg Heath
Thanks, Siobhain Bowen
Writes Siobhan Bowen:
“The outside photos are my class and Mr. Kottlamp’s class working together in our garden. Mr. Kottkamp’s class is amazing and worked with my class teaching them how to compost, build the plant beds, and take care of the garden”
Siobhain Bowen’s students are comparing what grows faster: plants in sunlight or those under the grow lamps she has set up in the classroom.
This just in from Makini Velazquez of 94M:
FYI, schools can get FREE compost and mulch through the Department of Sanitation and BIG! NYC. At first they wanted us to pick up, but in the end they delivered to my school garden! Forms and instructions are below.

Thanks Maura Flanagan!
What’s growing on? Well, according to Maryellen Rice of 255Q at 151, LETTUCE is the vegetable du Jour. Now if they can grow some Zesty Italian, we’re in business!
Has anyone else seen the new poster for the Children’s Garden at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden? It features two school-age kids holding what appears to be just-picked produce…Plan a visit to the BBG to celebrate the 100-year anniversary of the Children’s Garden. (Just down the block from Cara’s new apartment, too.)
