My Project

Our students have been eager to grow their own garden from the very beginning of the school year. They have experience growing plants at home but would really love to build their own personal gardening space.

Our diverse group of students is a combination of students from different classes who chose to participate in our gardening club together because of their love of gardening at home.

They are eager to plant and take care of plants as we have begun to do with our school's front garden the last several weeks.

Overall, investing in our student's gardening group will allow us to head start our indoor classroom, develop their authentic connections to science learning further, and allow us to add more children to the club as we are low on supplies currently.
