P.S 007 Samuel Stern
The garden at P.S 7 is managed and funded by Edible Schoolyard NYC. The goal of the garden at P.S. 7is to provide an organic, four-season growing space and outdoor classroom on school grounds where ESYNYC staff can teach an interdisciplinary curriculum; provide programming for students, families and community members; and train teachers and principals throughout New York City.
The garden benefits not only all the children in the school, who have regular classes and extra-curricular programs, but also families and local community members who are welcomed to the garden as visitors, volunteers and participants in open garden days. The goal of the garden is to create a place where health and wellness are seen as enjoyable, welcome and positive parts of life, and where lessons in healthy living can happen in a joyful and positive environment.
