My Project

Growing and maintaining a school garden will have a positive impact on the lives of our students! The garden will help our students work collaboratively as a community. They will learn, explore and have fun!

Growing a beautiful garden will help improve the appearance of our school building and students will take pride in their work.

Growing a garden will give them an appreciation for the environment and help them to acquire lifelong skills.

Growing the garden will require teamwork through collaborative planning.

The garden will present many different opportunities for them during their time at our wonderful school.
