My Project

We are requesting raised flower beds for planting and creating a green space on campus. Our biology classes will serve as our garden caregivers who will plant and maintain the space. This is application of life science, photosynthesis and horticulture.

The goals are to turn the garden into a useful, sustainable space where the food can be shared with the school community and beautify our campus.

Our student are in an urban community where there are not too many green spaces.They deserve fresh air, food and peaceful spaces where they can destress.
