My Project

Many of my students have never been given the opportunity to grow a garden! I would love to teach them and hopefully spark a passion for healthy farm-to-table living!! Beginning with a basic indoor garden, the starter seed pack along with the growing lights will help us begin to learn and start a garden! Soil and individual pots will help each of them experience being able to plant and sprout their own flowers and vegetables. It will teach them the responsibility of tending to their plant! Thank you!
