From Garden to Backpacks

Help me give my students Black Duck Heirloom seeds to enhance our school garden.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. LeDay's classroom raised $200

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Many of my students have no experience the taste of a tomato growing on a vine. The Black Duck Vegetable Seeds, and Seed Starter Kits will help my students experience growing vegetables in our school garden.

School gardens offer numerous benefits, including promoting healthy eating habits, fostering academic achievement, and connecting students with nature.

They provide hands-on learning opportunities, encourage physical activity, and help students understand where their food comes from. Additionally, gardens can boost student engagement, improve nutrition, and strengthen community ties.

This project will also provide my students with a sense of enjoyment of plants and other forms of nature.

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
