A NEW LOWER SCHOOL GREENHOUSE BLOOMS AT AVS By Liana Zafran (Farmer Li), Garden and Sustainability Teacher Thanks to the generosity of the Annual Fund, we’ve added a solar- powered greenhouse to the AVS Garden! This vibrant new space has sparked excitement among Lower School students, providing a protected environment where plants can thrive year-round. Students now have the opportunity to explore a wider variety of crops and experiments than ever before. In the coming weeks, I will guide students through a hands-on microgreens project focused on healthy eating and sustainable practices. Beyond growing food, the greenhouse serves as a living laboratory where students can study plant life cycles, energy conversion, and the impact of climate on growth. This addition ensures that our students not only grow plants—but also curiosity, problem-solving skills, and environmental stewardship.
