My Project

Our outdoor design team is creating and outdoor classroom in an empty courtyard space. These middle schoolers have been hauling wheelbarrows full of mulch into the empty hot courtyard space and rolling logs in to be used as classroom seats.

They need a sun sail to complete the space because there is no shade and gloves for gardening.

Our next steps are to add a pollinator garden and herb bed. The space will be perfect for outdoor education. The students have designed this space and are already getting their hands dirty!
