Denver Green School - Northfield: Denver's top performing middle school

On September 25th, 9news featured Denver Green School - Northfield's garden elective. This elective is run by Nick Zuschneid who works tirelessly to ensure that his students and those who attend Inspire Elementary have the best educational and production garden space. Earlier this year, Nick secured funding to make his dream of an agroforestry space come true. Agroforestry is the intentional integration of trees and shrubs into crop and animal farming systems to create environmental, economic and social benefits.

The agroforestry area is an extension of the garden space and will provide more opportunities for students to get first hand experience in different types of agriculture while also supporting the ecosystem in a more industrial area.
