PS 11 composting pumpkins and community work day

On November 5th, 2011 on the weekend after Halloween, groups in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan  hosted an event to collect leaves and Jack-O-Lanterns for composting. PS 11 was one of the drop off sites. The pumpkins will make their way to the Western Queens Compost Initiative then go to Brooklyn Grange, a large rooftop farm in Queens.

The PS 11 Garden Club also used the day as a Garden Work Day. Thanks to all the families that came out to volunteer and to the members of our committee. The weather was great and so was the company.
