Join the P.S. 107 KinderGardeners as they explore the magic of growing. These tiny urban farmers plant, tend, and eat their favorite veggies and herbs while learning about reading, writing and science. Observing the process of growth gives the children an opportunity to learn about botany but also an appreciation for the foods served and a curiosity to try new things. It’s delightful to see these gardeners enjoy the fruits of their work!

+ add your ownThanks for the article.
Our charity, NPI, has developed a miniature school garden (w. 3.5 ft. x 15 ft. footprint) that demonstrates biosecure poultry production using quail, algalculture to grow algae for Tilapia fish in an aquaculture model, plus an aquaculture system to grow vegetables, & a drip-irrigation unit to grow Grain Amaranth for flour, and to feed the quail. If there is not enough classroom space for this model, NPI can provide a small, insulated greenhouse using a biochar kiln for heat. By adding biochar to the grow-beds, crop yields more than double. Kids love caring for birds & fish as well as plants. Teachers like the models because they help teach science, biodiversity, farming, environmental concerns, math, nutrition/ balanced meals, and so on. The kids & teachers then help to improve the parents gardening/ farming techniques.
Great idea. Good for them.
haha, cute. It's great for them to learn, I hope they like it it enough that maybe they will want their parents to grow stuff
GREAT !
The experience of growing their own food nurtures the children's spirits in so many ways! :D :D :D :D :D
This is excellent. Children learn quickly by example.
How awesome! I hope more schools will follow in this school's footsteps. Children need to learn about healthy eating at an early age. What better way than to grow your own food.
Exposure to gardening, healthy foods, and taking ownership for the end results....great idea and process!
I think most k. classes plant something. Our kids bring their plant home to watch grow.
