A Refresh for Spring in the Library!

Help me give my students plants to clean the air and create a warm environment for studying.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Wiltse's classroom raised $230

This project is fully funded

My Project

We have a huge school library with beautiful floor-to-ceiling windows and a grand central location within the building. With walls of windows and a brutalist architectural design, I need plants to make the library feel inviting and welcoming.

Students studying and relaxing can do so with cleaner air and a calm environment with these plants.

I also have students who ask to water and care for the plants, which allows for some stress relief during their school day. I do have some plants but as the school year progresses, I need a refresher! Thanks for helping me make this large space feel warm and inviting.
