Nature is all around us—waiting to be explored! Gain a deeper understanding the many benefits of green spaces in the city. Rooftop farms provide a unique opportunity to witness biodiversity in action and serve as living examples of climate solutions. In this workshop, students will explore ecosystems, habitats, and the food chain, all through the lens of a thriving rooftop farm. For now, this program is exclusively offered at our Sunset Park farm location.
