Greenpoint Photos Du Jour: Rock & Grow High School

(Or, Looking Good In The Neighborhood!)

I’ve noticed a number of changes at Greenpoint’s very own Automotive High School over the years. First there were musicals (Guys & Dolls). Last year they started a garden. That was pretty cool— but it is nothing in comparison to what they have created this year!

Raised beds with every imaginable herb, fruit and vegetable imaginable. Pumpkins, tomatoes, sage; you name it!

What I particularly adored was the furniture these youths created to accompany this much-needed (re)greening of Greenpoint. The above bench reads: AUTOHS.

And a rocker fit for a queen.

Or perhaps a king? In any case I cannot do justice to what this creation. See it for yourself!

  2. That IS awesome! The furniture is great, but probably gets a little hot in that full sun. The open ends of the metal parts will provide shelter and habitat for small creatures.

  4. You really should see it in person. It is ENORMOUS. It looks like they’re setting up a nice little picnic area adjacent to it too. In any case, I am eager for harvest time because as I understand it they sell their goodies to the public!

  6. It is true, they do sell their produce to people passing by on the street. Last year I bought two big bunches of arugula from them – it was delicious.

Tell me what you're thinking...
