My Project

These planters and materials will give hands on experiences for all individual unique needs. All students will be able to participate in growing fruits, vegetables and herbs and create a farm to table learning opportunity.

Agriculture is key to our survival.

Learning to be successful is what we need the children to feel to continue their love of agriculture related activities. Students can create recipes and take pride in their accomplishments.

The fish tank and bird feeders will allow students a place to regulate their emotions while enjoying the sights and sounds of nature.
