Greenhouse

"Through our annual Sustainability Project Grant, the Office of Sustainability awarded $55,000 for the creation or expansion of sixteen school gardens and growing spaces. As more schools place emphasis on wellness and green spaces, resources to create or support an existing gardens are growing in demand. At M.S. 323, the Scholar’s Academy in Queens, the Sustainability Coordinator and teacher (Jonathan Bradley) won a $5,000 grant to construct an outdoor greenhouse. This extends the growing season and opportunities for his gardening club to work outside. As a result, interest in gardening has grown and more student groups are learning from the greenhouse. A 7th grade STEAM class is studying how to improve thermal properties to capture more heat, and woodworking students are building raised bed and shelves for inside the greenhouse."-DOE 2018-2019 Annual Report
