GREENING GREENFIELD is a unique private/public partnership focusing on the transformation of Greenfield School's urban site into an outdoor laboratory that teaches children while they play about micro-climates, indigenous plants, rain water absorption, energy conservation and harvesting, and their symbiotic relationship to the environment. Greening Greenfield not only offers Greenfield students a rich opportunity to learn the important lessons of environmental responsibility but also gives the surrounding community a green open recreation space in the heart of the city.
