GROW Education helped renovate an old greenhouse at the Carney Academy Elementary School in New Bedford, MA. The space will be used for supporting their onsite community garden, and teaching the kids about healthy food and sustainable farming.
Things are looking up - or rather, out- at Parker Elementary School! Students will soon be able to look out of new, clear windows at their community and become more engaged with the world outside those windows- including the GROW Education school garden. Thank you to Grow supporter Steven Froias for the shout out. We do believe that WHERE you learn is as important as WHAT you learn and we are proud to be a part of New Bedford Public Schools, providing a welcoming space for project based learning and community building.
