My Project

Our students be participating in school club activities each Friday afternoon to extend their learning opportunities and spend more time with friends during the day. Our school garden club will provide a great way for students to learn about gardening and gain hands-on experience growing their own food, and tasting the fruits (and vegetables!) of their labor.

Every garden needs sun, soil, and water.

We have already picked our ideal sun garden location on school grounds. We have begun the construction of our in-ground beds and bed preparation. We've made sure our garden is out of the way of recess activities like bouncing balls and active feet, and away from trash receptacles that may attract other critters.

Now we have made a wish list of our garden supplies. As shown in the "wish list" we will need many hand shovels, rakes, and buckets. While there are many fancy gardening tools out there, hands are perhaps the most effective…and they are free! Our minimal list to get started includes soil, seedlings/seeds, shovels, and gloves for participants.
