In July, 2007, our team of 15 high school students spent a week completing several construction projects in the Herkimer United Garden in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. Each morning, we met with the students in a classroom to explore math, science and history concepts related to the garden project. Then we traveled together to the garden to do construction work all afternoon. photos and student writing adult volunteers and contributors student construction team classroom connections what we built herkimer home projects the program about us donate
