At 9am on Saturday April 10th over thirty PS40 parents and students turned out to help with the roof garden project. Ten large garbage cans filled with rich soil were donated and delivered to PS40. The fact that PS40 does not have an elevator did not deter anyone.
These dedicated parents and kids carried every bit of the soil up all four flights of stairs. Under the expert guidance of horticulturalist and soil donor, Chris and Lisa Goode, of Goode Green (goodegreennyc.com), the kids layered the soil and prepared it for planting.
The day was a huge success, not only for the speedy and efficient delivery of the soil, but the opportunity for disparate members of the PS40 community worked together and widened the scope of the mission of the Super Green Eco Team.
No one was afraid to get their hands dirty!
The garden boxes look beautiful and we are ready for planting!
