PS11 The William T. Harris School

Our garden's main goal is to connect our urban students to the natural world and to introduce gardening with edible plants. Outside of school the PS11 elementary students have very little access to interact with nature and few have participated in growing food. The school garden successfully provides tastings and provides a small amount of vegetables and herbs to the school kitchen. We grow inside in the classrooms, on the 2nd floor roof space and around the play area downstairs. We have a well established compost and rainwater catchment.
