The Living Laboratory Project is a garden project at the Imagine Environmental Charter School in Pittsburgh. It provides our students a chance to do hands on activities and experiments using plants and garden animals. The garden is maintained and operated by the ECS Garden Club, which is composed of school families and community members, in association with the Penn State Master Gardeners of Allegheny County.

This is what the garden looks like after planting day on May 15th. One side is full of native pollinator perennials and shrubs. The other side is a test garden where students planted potatoes in container gardens, strawberry patches and the Three Sisters in mounds.
