New School Gardens NYC
An elementary school in New York City will soon be building an Edible Schoolyard program (the first New York affiliate). It will occupy 1/4 acre of previous parking lot, includes a kitchen classroom, compost, chicken coop, outdoor pizza oven, movable greenhouse, and, of course a garden. The price tag is about 1.6 million.
This project was detailed in a recent New York Times article, 1/20/2010, “School Adds Weeding to Reading and Writing” by Kim Severson. I can’t for the life of me figure out how to get access to the article - each time I find it, it disappears again. This link to the article may or may not work!
