Greenhouse
The Greenhouse provides our students with the opportunity to learn about plant growth, environmental sustainability, and responsible citizenship as a way to creatively solve problems.
In the summer of 2016, LFCDS Alumnus Justin Hone '14 brought new life to the School's Greenhouse, which was originally built in 1976 with funds donated by George and Hat Bermingham in memory of their son, Robbie, a longtime LFCDS student. Justin identified the Greenhouse as the ideal spot for his Eagle Scout project—constructing an aquaponics garden in partnership with Growing Healthy People (GHP), a non-profit company dedicated to training veterans for careers in sustainable farming.
Today the Greenhouse is a bustling hub for our experiential science curriculum. The farm grows a variety of microgreens, the first leaves of a plant, including basil, peppers, cucumbers, arugula, kale, radishes, and much more.
