My Project

Our early childhood 3-k and Pre-k students are learning about the wonderful world of gardening. Our school currently has a garden for the students to plant and explore. What a wonderful way to make this real-world experience extra amazing by providing gardening tools.

Your donations will provide the students with children-size wheelbarrows, children-size rakes, and children-size gloves.

This garden project will teach students about eating fresh fruits and vegetables as well as how to take care of our natural environment. For many little ones, this would be their only planting experience and we need your help to make it special.
