Growing Chefs returns to the Garden School in Jackson Heights, Queens, to pilot our new math and science curriculum. Partnering with staff with experience at Francis Perkins Academy and the Natural History Museum, our garden-based botany and kitchen chemistry mix hands-on learning with solid classroom science. This week, we cleaned up our newly built outdoor garden and then returned inside from the heat to put together micro terrariums. With supplies and green roof succulents from Sprout Home in Brooklyn, each child went home with a recycled, low-mantinence garden, and a lesson learned on drought-tolerant plants, ecosystems, and the do-it-yourself attitude we love in our young green thumbs!
