On Tuesday the Amigos school held a Professional Development workshop for teachers focusing on science in the garden. The workshop was developed by the CPSD Science Department to train teachers in using the garden for certain science units. This signifies the first time CitySprouts has influenced Cambridge Public Schools curriculum in a district-wide fashion.

Welcome!
The garden was once a cement courtyard in a Cambridge public school building, shared by the Martin Luther King Jr. and Amigos schools. In August of 2006, construction began. The cement was lifted out with cranes, and volunteers from both schools wheelbarrowed truckloads of loam into the transforming space.
Today the garden is a vibrant outdoor classroom that directly supports teachers' curriculum. During volunteer drop-ins, students and their families share in garden maintenance, overseeing the entire growing cycle from seed to compost.
Thank you for your interest!
