Where Did Those Seedlings Come From? Gotham Greens!

Bonus Basil & Lettuce

Our generous partner, Gotham Greens, donated more hydroponic seedlings to the school garden this August. IMG_4462In 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.
