With spring in the air, Westhampton Beach Elementary School students were back in their school’s PTA-sponsored greenhouse learning the art and science of gardening. Working alongside farm educator Renato Stafford, owner of Homegrown, the students learned how organic materials break down to enrich soil and support plant growth by building a compost pile. They also planted a variety of vegetable seeds. Each student received seeds to take home, extending the learning experience beyond the classroom and inspiring families to garden together.
