Frieda Lim’s green thumb (and the rest of her!) is keeping P.S. 39 on the farm, with the continuation of our uber-successful school garden (surviving every obstacle man and nature can throw at us, even the scaffolding).
You may have already noticed our favorite urban farmer tilling the soil, with the garden’s “nomadic” nature being a big plus in terms of space and light. In addition, Ms. Crane recently led two first grade classes on digging into some starter crops.
Frieda tells us that the fall harvest, lettuce and spinach, will grow very quickly and barely mind a little October chill in the air. Other seeds that need to be planted this season include fundraisers to help expand the garden, especially after the yard is fixed next summer.
Want to get involved? The only green thumbers we need for fundraising are people who love to raise green. If interested, contact Frieda here.
