Would you like to support the garden? Express your interest in helping student gardeners grow by filling out the PS 48 School Garden Interest Form. Consider even supporting the writing of a Garden Grant like these ones.
We seek garden equipment, planting materials (seeds, soil, compost, seedlings), and expertise. You can also directly contact Mr. Justin Czarka at mrczarka (at) gmail (dot) com or (718) 589-4312.
Help us achieve our goal of ensuring every student is an urban farmer. Because every child should know how to grow food! You may also adopt our outdoor classroom by visiting DonorsChoose.org. Want more thanks? Check 'em out! or follow the Garden News.
