Our Brooklyn Rewilders Fall 2025 Class meets Wednesday, September 17 to December 17 from 2:30-5pm
Grades: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th Graders
Location: PS 282 School Garden
Schedule: Every Wednesday, except school holidays
Garden Scientists is where curious young minds discover the magic of growing food, conducting real scientific research, and becoming stewards of their urban ecosystem through hands-on exploration and delicious cooking adventures.
Each week, students engage in project-based outdoor learning: planting, harvesting, composting, and preparing real food from the garden. They’ll track weather, measure plant growth, observe soil life, and build their own garden journals—all while learning to safely slice, mix, and prep healthy dishes. This real-world curriculum is designed to connect kids with science, nature, and each other.
Program Details
Schedule: 13 weeks | 2:40-5:15pm | School garden
What We Do: Garden science experiments, soil testing, weather tracking, cooking lab, and presenting research findings to families and community.
Learning Focus: Scientific observation, data collection, ecosystem understanding, nutrition science, and sustainable food systems.
Community Connection: Collaborative cooking and hands-on science experiments with expert guests from our community, final market presentation, and family celebration feast.
Program Highlights
✓ Real Scientific Research - Students conduct actual experiments and collect data
✓ Hands-On Garden Learning - From soil testing to harvest analysis
✓ Farm-to-Table Cooking - Nutritious meals using garden produce
✓ Data Collection & Analysis - Weather tracking, growth measurements, yield calculations
✓ Ecosystem Understanding - Learning how gardens function as living systems
✓ Student-Led Presentations - Sharing research findings with families and community
What Makes This Special
Our young ecologists don't just grow plants - they transform their garden into a living laboratory! Students will measure plant growth, test soil pH, track weather patterns, analyze harvest data, and even calculate nutritional content of their cooking projects. The program culminates in a community market where students present their research findings and share a feast made with their new skills and knowledge.
Perfect for curious kids who love getting their hands dirty while learning how science connects to the food we eat every day.
Class mostly meets outside in our school garden, with a tented area in case of rain.
Snacks provided. Scholarships are available. We are offering tiered pricing through 9/5 to help fund our scholarships.
Late pickup available! Contact us to sign up.
