My Project

I would like to create a community garden, where my students can come to learn about plants, gardening, and where our foods come from. We hope to make our garden a thriving hub of greenery and sustainability! We hope to share our garden with other classes in hopes that teachers can bring their students to this space to read books, look at plants, and experience nature. Imagine the excitement on our student's faces as they grow their own plants and harvest their own produce. To make this happen we need box planters, potting soil, and seeds, among other gardening supplies we have requested. We are thrilled to bring our school garden to life!
