Take a Virtual Trip to the Teaching Garden!

We created a virtual field trip to the GrowNYC Teaching Garden on Governors Island! Below are age appropriate videos that focus on plant parts (for grades k-5) and regenerative agriculture (for grades 6-12). Below each virtual field trip video we also have photos with links to videos where students can learn more. 

​

The GrowNYC Teaching Garden at Governors Island features over 20 vegetable beds made from recycled plastic lumber, farm-style rows, an aquaponics system, an outdoor kitchen, a greenhouse, a high tunnel hoophouse, fruit trees, several rainwater harvesting systems, a rain garden, and much much more. 

​

You can find info about booking an in-person field trip or visiting during open public hours here.
