Sustainable Schooling: Brooklyn’s Edible Schoolyard
Students at PS206 in Brooklyn, New York will have a very unique schoolyard to look forward to.
Work AC, Edible Schoolyard NY and the Alice Waters’ Chez Panisse Foundation are designing an edible schoolyard which will combine a large garden with a network of sustainable systems.
The facility will produce it’s own energy and heat, collect rainwater and process compost for use in the garden. A 1600 square foot greenhouse will enable students to continue growing into the cold season.
