Dunn School Green Group Planter Initiative
The Dunn School Green Group has launched an exciting green initiative by purchasing 10 eco-friendly planters made from recycled lab plastic through Appleton Woods and MyGroup. These planters have been distributed to various labs and facilities across Dunn School, where they are now used to grow vegetables, fruits, and herbs, primarily in the moat at the front of the main building.
