Edible Green Roofs
Edible Schoolyard
The Edible Schoolyard in NewYork and Alice Waters’ Chez Panisse Foundation, are designing a new schoolyard for Public School 216 in New York that aims to educate school children about food, where it comes from and what real fresh foods taste like. The Edible Schoolyard is designed to produce energy, collect rainwater, process compost and recycle.
The school features a kitchen classroom (anyone remember Home Economics?) and a greenhouse where children learn about ecology. The children at PS 216 learn to take care of plants and to become stewards of their environment.
