The CSS community garden is all about getting kids involved with being green. Please help support our growing garden. Drop by and help out!
The garden was created by students and teachers, who maintain it with help from the Morningside Heights community. Students compost fruits and veggies from lunches at school, and they grow vegetables to harvest and serve for school lunch. Open garden hours-- Mondays: 2:30-4:30, Fridays: 3:30-5:30!
