ESYNYC was honored to present last night’s panel, Planting Change: School Gardens as Hubs for Climate Action and Community. 🌱 Thank you to everyone who joined us!

It was inspiring to be among so many fellow educators, gardeners, and advocates for school gardens and plant-centered education. From increased biodiversity to stronger community connections, we have seen tremendous change in our own school gardens over the past 16 years. Our team’s biggest takeaway from last night’s conversation is that the movement to make garden education a fundamental part of every school is primed for growth.

Thank you to our panelists, Director of Horticulture and Operations Jason Duverney-Gasper, Garden Manager Chloe Hirschorn, Director of Education and Quality Liza Engelberg, and our moderator, ESYNYC’s President and Executive Director Kristen Baldwin.

A special thanks to Paul Hastings for hosting us, and to Lauren Brooten and Partners and ESYNYC Board members Jayme Goldstein and Brett Lawrence for all of their work behind the scenes to help make this event happen and support our mission every day.

Nothing like a productive day in the garden! Thank you to the Select Equity team for joining us at Brighter Choice Community School and getting to work on building a new compost bin and dish rack, adding a garden accessibility path, and spreading mulch to beautify our garden. 🌻

We’re so appreciative of the time and energy they gave to help us create hands-on spaces where students can learn, grow, and get their hands dirty!

Happy First Day of School, NYC! ✏️🍎 ESYNYC’s team is excited to see our students today and we’re looking forward to the start of our hands-on cooking and gardening classes in the coming weeks. Wishing our students, program managers, volunteers, teachers, and school partners a great start to the school year!

Today we’re excited to show what a summer looks like for a member of our Edible Schoolyard NYC garden team! ☀️

Working across our 4 core school sites throughout the summer months, the ESYNYC garden team cares for all plants, herbs, and trees growing in our school gardens. They harvest plants like potatoes, peaches, grapes, kale, long beans, cut flowers, and more. The harvested vegetables and fruits are then prepared for ESYNYC’s farmstands or for pickling/storage for students to use in cooking lessons this upcoming school year. 🫙🍅

The garden team has also been making sure our school gardens are clean and ready to use soon by students: they conduct back-to-school cleanups, complete w**ding in garden beds, clean storage sheds, and install irrigation.

Thank you, ESYNYC garden team, for your work as we get ready to welcome our students back to school soon! 🌱

It was a beautiful day in the garden at P.S. 216 with our friends from Select Equity! ☀️ Volunteers helped clean and organize the maintenance room and chicken coop, place plant signs, and w**d garden pathways. Thank you, Select Equity, for your hard work and support to keep our garden thriving!

A big thank you to everyone who joined us at BON STUDIO for a hands-on afternoon of pickling hosted by our Associate Board! The ESYNYC Associate Board is a group of young professionals who bring a wide variety of expertise and passion to advancing our mission.

Quick pickling is a hands-on lesson our Program Managers teach with our students, so it was especially fun to bring this experience to our community of supporters. Guests learned the basics of pickling, customized their jars with their favorite herbs and spices, and took home their very own pickles to enjoy. 🥒

This event was a great opportunity to bring our community together around something we all love: food and cooking! We’re so grateful to everyone who joined us—and to Baldor Specialty Foods for helping make this delicious afternoon possible.
