Solarizing the Zinsser Greenhouse

Thanks to Bloomberg Philanthropies' YCAF Grant Program, Colin Sexton and Sam Kastner built upon last year's successes by installing a functioning solar power system onto the greenhouse at the Zinsser Gardens. The solar panels provide energy to irrigate the greenhouse and nearby plots. The greenhouse and irrigation system were both constructed the previous year through YCAF funding, the irrigation system by Colin and friends, and the greenhouse by Sasha Fuller Eden Greenberg.
