This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Project
I bought a used tower garden and set it up in our classroom but without supplemental lighting we can barely grow enough romaine to feed our class pet tortoise, Cosmo. My tower garden at home is lush and feeds 6 people a salad every night but my dark classroom can’t sustain vegetative life. Brighten up our garden and help us turn the lights on to a healthy salad for us all. Currently we have twenty plants growing including two types of romaine and two different tomato varieties. Cosmo, our red toed tortoise, eats all of our lettuce. This alone has been amazing for our students and their families to see but if we get lights we can all have salad, tomatoes and maybe even watermelon if we can get the lights soon enough.
