Thank you for contributing to our students learning and exploring the world of gardening and growing our own food.”

  • Sprouting Dreams: Building a Garden from Scratch

    Funded Dec 6, 2024

    We've been using the new resources to transform our school garden into an interactive learning hub. One of our recent projects focused on pollinators. Students researched local pollinator species, and are designing garden sections to attract them, and are planning on planting native flowers and herbs. A standout moment was when students a built bee hotels using recycled materials—they were so excited to apply what they'd learned in class to something tangible that benefits the environment!

    The excitement was palpable! When the materials arrived, the students cheered and couldn't wait to unpack everything. They were especially thrilled with the gardening tools and seeds, as they immediately started brainstorming what they could plant and where. Seeing their faces light up with enthusiasm reinforced just how much this project means to them and how invested they are in its success.

    Our next steps involve integrating the garden into our science curriculum by conducting soil testing and tracking plant growth. Students will analyze how different variables—like sunlight and water—impact plant health. We're also planning a "Garden Showcase Day" where students will present their findings and share the garden's progress with the school community and donors. This will not only deepen their understanding of environmental science but also foster a sense of pride and ownership in what they've built.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Casserly

    This classroom project was brought to life by Con Edison and one other donor.
