You gotta love academia. Grass clippings lying on top of St. Augustine grass are not in contact with the microorganisms at the soil surface and they do not decompose easily; they sit there for weeks if left unattended, blow into the stormwater runoff and contribute to ecological havoc of freshwater all over Florida.

Tree Media Foundation has partnered with Sarah Didvar-Saadi and Gina Powell of The Green Schoolhouse, a Los Angeles-based school garden consulting and design build company, to create a pilot program to build school farms. We are calling these farms, “Field of Dreams”. A Field of Dreams Farm is an outdoor classroom where High School students learn the sustainable practices of planting, composting and water con-servation to grow food with the highest organic nutritional value.
