CitySprouts Day is a time for us to celebrate our growth in the last 25 years, from how we started with just one garden to now, with every elementary and middle school in Cambridge. 💚

The beautiful rooftop garden at the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. School is the first intentionally designed learning garden to be included in Cambridge Public Schools’ new school building construction. It is warmer than our other gardens and partially covered by solar panels.☀️
