About the Program: 

Mott Hall Bridges Academy, located in Brownsville, Brooklyn, broke ground on its Community Garden in May of 2014. Raised bed gardens are being planted and there will also be a colony of bees providing honey. Scholars and school groups will be assigned plots in the garden to tend to year-round.

The garden space will be used to enrich scholars' learning experience accross curriculums including the content areas of art, science, math, and health.  In addition, the garden will be the source of nutrious fruits, vegetables, and honey for the local community.
