Nourish: Indulge in Curiosity
Nourish Starts With Good Gardens

Every Garden Starts With Work
Here at PAST, we are always looking for ways for our students to experience #AppliedSTEM. Here in this photo, students in the Culinary Arts Summer Institute (CASI) are helping to build out the raised beds that are part of the PAST Innovation Lab's urban garden. These beds will transform the front lawn from feral grass to fresh food and herbs. Each bed is designed to support both pollinator species and robotic growbot tracks to automate the planting, growing, watering, weeding, and harvesting of food. These beds are the prototype for the third phase of the Nourish Learning Lab, the Kinnear Road Agrihood. The CASI program is one of three Nourish-adjacent programs this summer that is focused on food science and food security.
