At the 9th Street Schoolhouse, we strive to “close the loop,” learning about sustainability through examining what inputs we humans require and how we can lessen our impact on the earth. Every month we take time for a Sustainability Day to have a focus lesson and then spend time in our gardens. We enjoy connecting with nature and eating what we grow. We invite you to join the fun and make a fabric herb pouch stuffed with fresh herbs!

Let’s make cool necklaces and/or bag tags using discarded Formica laminate swatches. Paint your own design on a laminate swatch or collage it with magazine cut-outs. Tie a piece of twine to the final Formica project and you have a new upcyled necklace or bag tag!

By growing vertically, we can make indoor and outdoor gardening more productive for Austinites interested in growing their own vegetables in a small spaces. These systems increase efficiency and make sustainable urban farming a reality by maximizing available growing space and minimizing maintenance.
