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:
“The community which has neither poverty nor riches will always have the noblest principles.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
“The others “acted” a role; I was the role. She who was Mary Garden died that it might live. That was my genius ... and my sacrifice. It drained off so much of me that by comparison my private life was empty. I could not give myself completely twice.”
—Mary Garden (1874–1967)
