Our high school grow room is under utilized and waiting for us to take it over with greenery! The materials I'm asking for are to provide my students the opportunity to plant and grow vegetables and flowers for their own gardens, and for the garden of others. This life skill instills in my students the need to take care of something, get outdoors and the joy of watching what they grew become something they can eat. This will allow students to give back to the community placements at which they volunteer by providing plants for their raised gardens so the elderly or wheelchair clients can also enjoy growing their own plants. Add to that the opportunity of gaining the knowledge of growing which can be transferred to employment or to adult post secondary programs which have green houses or a horticulture component.
