My Project

Children have a natural curiosity about our world. Help me provide them with new fresh soil needed to grow and tend a classroom garden. These young scholars will enjoy getting down and dirty in this soil.

Growing your own food will not only become a fun and healthy habit, it will be a hands-on experience where kids will see the life cycle of plants first hand.

It will be the first opportunity for most of these children to see that our food doesn’t just come from the grocery store. They can take pride in their efforts and taste the fruits of their labor.
