Thank you, Joe Calcagno from 721R, for the photographs.
721R has an indoor hydroponics shop that is all a-grow!
The indoor tower garden at 94M at 276 grows peas, spinach, nasturtium, and more.

Kudos to Ms. Alanna O’Donnell, Principal Barbara Tremblay and all of the students and staff that maintain the garden!
Chef George paid a visit to 35M @ Beacon last week to help the students prepare a delicious lunch of bean tacos with sauteed zucchini and salsa, and a bok choy salad with blueberry balsamic vinaigrette. Students prepped the zucchini, mixed and pressed the fajita dough from scratch, harvested the bok choy from Mr. Heath’s Tower Garden, and mixed it with salad greens and tomatoes. Yum!
Thank you, Katherine Marte at 77K, for these indoor garden photographs.
Although our celebration was virtual again this year, check out all of the exciting things that the BBG and NYBG partnership classes have been doing! We had a live celebration on June 10 where students shared about their gardening projects and recent trips to their botanical gardens.
Alanna from 721K shared this slideshow of her students composting with students from John Dewey high school.
Here is a quick look-see at what’s blooming at 811Q
Did you notice the dill going to seed?
District 75 schools and the New York Botanical Garden had a celebration in June 2021, where they shared their spring planting projects. The folks at PLG created a Wakelet page to showcase this work.
There are 58 different submissions!
