Our outdoor Learning Garden at CS – Community School 55 is the pride and joy of the community. Decorated by students in collaboration with Bronx Children’s Museum, our garden is host to classes, recitals, summer camps, scavenger hunts and parades. One of the most productive community gardens per square inch in all of NYC – in the heart of NYCHA, we routinely release butterflies, host science classes and generate hundreds of pounds of vegetables, 100% of which are donated to local residents and / or used in school programming.
