Greenhouse build at Harlem Renaissance High School
This is no ordinary school. This school now has a state of the art studio and greenhouse! We were so lucky to be chosen to build their greenhouse and we have truly enjoyed it.
A team of mostly women built this greenhouse so that the Green Team can grow things year round!
August 2013, the greenhouse is under construction. Once completed, the 480sf greenhouse will be a fantastic place for students to explore and learn about plants all year round
Wow! Even as the weather gets colder, we have been busy in the garden! During the week of November 11th, our classes planted in all the beds, tires, and wooly pockets. We planted garlic, hyacinths, daffodils, clover, and even some spinach.
Greenhouse for Growing Up Green Charter School
We built an Outdoor Educational Wonderland for Growing up Green Charter School. This school is a true inspiration. Even without a single square foot of green space, they created a compete Wonderland in their school parking lot that includes: a greenhouse (used as a Learning Lab), raised garden beds, several composting systems and a chicken coop! They have already harvested many pounds of vegetables and herbs. Sprout has helped GUGCS integrate garden based learning into everyday education. We've helped to articulate and formalize the garden education initiative for all teachers, students and parents.

Why do we learn about inches and other units of measurement in class? A real life application of spacing, in this case three fingers for the Kindergarten group.
The farm has no water supply at the moment, so I drove a big bike with 8 buckets full of water from the water source a few minutes away

Mini Farm at Red Rooster office in Harlem
The design and build of a custom planter. Using salvaged NYC scaffolding wood, this mini farm had a very little small carbon footprint to make, and in no time, the farm will have 'scrubbed the air' and have taken as much CO2 out of the air as it took to build, while growing delicious veggies and herbs for all at the office to enjoy. Lunch was never better!
