Bonus Basil & Lettuce
Our generous partner, Gotham Greens, donated more hydroponic seedlings to the school garden this August. In total, students received about 40 starter plants, including lettuce, basil and arugula.
Ms Sophie’s class made sub-irrigated planters, similar to the planter project at this year’s Science Day. Others transplanted the seedlings right into the garden beds on a beautiful Friday afternoon.
The result? A nice bumper crop of lettuce and basil!
