Awards $10,000 to GreenWorks! to transform a Washington, D.C. Schoolyard

Martin Luther King Elementary School, located in Southeast DC, is benefitting from a $10,000 grant to PLT from HSBC Bank USA, N.A. Students and teachers have worked together with PLT national staff, a volunteer landscape architect and other community partners, including employees of a local HSBC branch, to beautify and improve their schoolyard by planting garden beds. A PLT workshop trained teachers at the school in PLT activities they can use in the schoolyard gardens to meet curriculum standards. In the fall, MLK will continue its GreenWorks! project by developing and planting new gardens and trees on the school grounds.
