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:
“Fortunately art is a community effort—a small but select community living in a spiritualized world endeavoring to interpret the wars and the solitudes of the flesh.”
—Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)
“A garden has this advantage, that it makes it indifferent where you live. A well-laid garden makes the face of the country of no account; let that be low or high, grand or mean, you have made a beautiful abode worthy of man.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
