The Problem
Our school is in Manhattan. We are in a large building with very little green space. This raised garden bed would provide children with the chance to interact daily with nature in a real way. Planting vegetables, herbs and flowers for pollinators will give them the opportunity to reduce plastic and waste in the school, by providing our cafeteria with produce and to see the life cycle of plants by attracting pollinators to promote the growth of fruit, as well as providing vital pollinator corridors in a highly urban area.
