Spring 2014__** = The gardeners of of PS 48 left the school garden and headed down to Drake Park in Hunts Point to collaborate with NYC Parks on a stewardship project. The students applied mulch around the bases of the trees, young and old, to keep them healthy as the temperatures rise and the trees get thirsty! Students received their own seed packets and reusable bag as a thank you! And so we say, "Thank you" to Mr. Christopher Acosta and Ms. Basia Nikonorow from NYC Parks for making this event happen!

The soil is safe for growing food for harvest. Wahoosers!

=Compost and Mulch Fest 2012!= Check out the photos from the May 23, 2012 event. Over 200 students participated in the soil, mulch, and compost delivery. They even found some surprises in the delivery. Can you find them in the pictures? Grow to Learn NYC and NYC Parks GreenThumb teamed up to donate soil, mulch, compost, and a deeper sense of community! Over 200 students collaborated with teachers and these organizations to deliver the soil to the garden beds. The students were organized into bucket brigades to carry, dump, and rake the soil delivery. Hard work is hard fun!
