Isadora Blooms
Green Infrastructure, Close to Home
Human Adaptation Through Growing & Greening
Hydroponics, aquaponics, green roofs, rain gardens, forestry... these aren't just eco-friendly extras. They're real, hands-on climate adaptation: absorbing rainwater, cooling city blocks, and preserving habitat, right in the neighborhoods your students already live in.
This workshop is the hands-on capstone of the Isadora Blooms workshop suite. Educators don't just learn about green infrastructure, they will design a real project suited to their own school and leave with a plan they can actually build.
Who This Is For
K-12 educators, informal educators, and district PD teams seeking hands-on, place-based climate education.
What You'll Walk Away With
-
A clear understanding of how hydroponics, aquaponics, rooftop farming, green roofs, forestry, and rain gardens function as climate adaptation
-
A first project idea suited to your own school context
-
A grounded understanding of why these practices matter specifically in NYC: heat island mitigation, rainwater absorption, and habitat preservation
