Community Garden
HSC is actively involved with the P.S. 134 Community Garden, which serves as an outdoor classroom for elementary schoolers, as well as a green space for other community members. For many youth in the Ground Up program at P.S.134, their work in the community garden project is often their first exposure to nature and the alternative learning environment that a hands-on, “design-build” project can offer.

Famous quotes containing the words community and/or garden:
“When a language creates—as it does—a community within the present, it does so only by courtesy of a community between the present and the past.”
—Christopher Ricks (b. 1933)
“The alcoholic trance is not just a haze, as though the eyes were also unshaven. It is not a mere buzzing in the ears, a dizziness or disturbance of balance. One arrives in the garden again, at nursery time, when the gentle animals are fed and in all the world there are only toys.”
—William Gass (b. 1924)
