My Students

When you were a child, were you scared of dirt, bugs, and being outdoors? Did you have an idea of how plants grew and where food came from?

In my 9th grade Env Studies class, my students haven't spent much time outdoors.

They are terrified of dirt and bugs and have no knowledge of food production. They have grown up in poverty, attending urban schools. All they know about gardening is what they see in magazines and on TV.

My Project

My students need basic gardening supplies to design and maintain a school garden. The materials requested will allow the students to go outside and get their hands dirty. They will get to use knowledge gained in the classroom and apply a hands on approach. The students will get to design, plant, and maintain our school garden. They will see first hand the growth and development of plants and vegetables.

Teaching children to garden will allow them to lead a more sustainable life.

They will get to see the growth and development of plants first hand and be proud that they were the ones to promote that life. With our environment in its current state, any effort to lead a positive change with the students at the forefront is worth the effort.
