Beverly Hills Unified School District is expanding hands-on learning opportunities through a partnership with City Greens Community Farm.
The Beverly Hills Unified School District Board of Education voted in August to approve the two-year pilot program, reinforcing the district's commitment to innovation, wellness and environmental responsibility.
At the center of the initiative is the hydroponic container farm located at the Hawthorne Campus, designed as a living classroom where students engage directly with plant science, sustainable growing practices and real-world STEM applications.
The program builds upon work already underway across the district. City Greens currently operates five hydroponic towers at Beverly Hills High School and one tower at Beverly Vista Middle School, providing ongoing classroom-based learning experiences. As part of the pilot, additional towers will expand access to each school site, further integrating hands-on farm education throughout BHUSD.
