My Project

Schools are on the rise and we would like a facelift to show how excited we are about starting our little scholars on the beautiful path of learning right from the start. We have a wide welcome pathway leading up to the school enteric. We would love to turn the space on the side of the pathway into a beautiful interactive garden learning space.

The newly designed space will provide the infrastructure to create outdoor learning space for our students.

It will incorporate raised garden beds for the students to utilize. Our curriculum has an entire unit focused on gardening. We hope to use the new space allow the students to explore and wonder about gardening throughout the different seasons.

When we get to the gardening unit of our curriculum students will be able to make connections with the experience and observation with the welcoming entrance garden. Throughout the years they will get to see different flowers and vegetables in bloom and smile every morning as they come into school. Our hope is they will also be proud of their work helping make the school beautiful and welcoming for everyone.
