My Project

My students have LOVED having a classroom garden this year! We have been able to learn so much about science, nutrition, the movement of the sun (or Earth) and the diversity of insects and birds our garden attracts.

I want to enhance our gardening curriculum with some additional gardening boxes, as well as terra cotta pots and jars to store our harvested seeds in.

We will also design birdhouses, wind chimes and vases to be used in our garden and to house cut flowers.

Lastly we have some neem oil to help organically combat some newly discovered insect pests in the garden.

Thank you for supporting garden education and for giving us the tools for this outdoor living lab!
