A Garden in Brooklyn

Help me give my students seeds, pots, soil, tools, greenhouse and mushroom kit.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Jennings's classroom raised $828

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students love to garden, they are not afraid to get their hands dirty and to recycle fruits and vegetables for composting in our worm bins. We are requesting gardening books, soil, plant seeds, flower pots, oil paint and paint brushes to allow our students to decorate plant pots and everything to do with gardening.

The goal for this project is to obtain resources for our gardening crew.

Student's will learn about soil, gardening, seed storage as well as how to do a cutting and other forms of plant reproduction.
