My Project

The students at our school are curious, hard working, and love being outdoors. We live in a climate where we can grow food 365 days a year. Furthermore, our elevation allows us to grow myriad fruits and vegetables.

These materials will enrich our garden program by providing us with the resources we need to grow healthy, organic food.

We already have an established garden space that is neat and organized. However, we struggle with our soil fertility and are always having to purchase fertilizer and seed starter mixes to get our produce started and healthy.

This donation will greatly improve our ability to grow food that we can study the nutritional benefits of and even eat back in the classroom!
