My Project

We would like to create a garden sanctuary for student learning. Classes can move lessons outdoors and create a space for meditation and self-care during lunch. We are hoping to till the fence line for a beautiful sunflower wall and create a haven for local bees.

We need gardening tools, a variety of seeds, and a microgreens growing kit.

I look forward to sharing the rewards of this project with you all. Goals include teaching green career skills and introducing healthier food choices into the students' lives. Our space will become an outdoor classroom as well as a getaway for our students.
