Grow NYC Greenmarket Tours 40.7363° N -73.9947° W

Description

GrowNYC’s education initiatives aim to foster environmental and community stewardship among young New Yorkers, school by school and classroom by classroom. Each year we provide programming to more than 66,000 youth through recycling and sustainability programs, school garden initiatives and support, nutrition education, Greenmarket school tours, in-school curricula, environmental education, and much more. We focus on New York City neighborhoods that fit GrowNYC’s priority profile including high poverty, low consumption and limited access to fresh fruits and vegetables, and limited access to green space.

Lunch Notes

We encourage students to bring sack lunches to enjoy in the park near each Greenmarket.

Thanks to generous donations from Slow Food NYC and other generous donors, schools with student bodies over 70% eligible for free lunch will receive a modest stipend of Greenmarket Bucks to shop with at the end of the tour. These Greenmarket Bucks are used to buy fresh fruit and vegetables, including food bearing plants, for the students to enjoy together as a class.

Bathroom Notes

Bathrooms are available at Union Square and Borogh Hall Greenmarkets.
