Growing Ginger

During winter and spring 2025, the New York Restoration Project (NYRP) helped our school community learn about ginger propagation.   NYRP provided the ginger, coco coir growing medium, and materials to grow indoors, including lights, a rack, and heating mats. Ms. Binuya and Mr. Ramdass raised the ginger in the classroom during winter, waiting for warmer weather.  Now the ginger is reading to grow all summer and fall in the school garden.  The students are ready for ginger tea, gingerbread, ginger ale, and more!  The First Annual PS 48 Ginger Fest celebration was such a success that ginger growing will become a mainstay in our garden learning!

Thank you, New York Restoration Project, for inspiring, training, and supporting our staff and students as we become confident ginger growers.
