On-site greenhouses are an excellent way for schools to reduce their carbon footprint and create a more sustainable and green facility. School greenhouses equip students with conservation and ecological knowledge and values they will use long after they graduate.
For schools that provide dining options to students, educational greenhouses can be a great way to provide students with low-cost, healthy meals. Using student-grown crops in meals allows children to feel connected to their work and proud of their accomplishments. Additionally, it reduces a school’s carbon footprint by reducing the amount of produce that needs to be shipped in and provided by outside sources.
