PS 376 Community Garden

Elevator Pitch

I’m working on a project to transform an underused space at Himrod Wilson Community Garden into an outdoor classroom for students at PS 376.

Right now, students spend most of their day indoors, even though they have access to a beautiful garden. This project activates that space by adding a student-designed learning environment created through a community art process led by students.Grounded in the idea that environment shapes learning, this space supports movement, sensory engagement, and connection to nature.

More than just building a structure, the goal is to build shared ownership, so the garden becomes a living, sustainable classroom shaped by the students, families, and teachers who use it.
