My Project

This project is to help create a long lasting raised bed school garden. Gardens give students a chance to learn responsibility, sustainability, and long term healthy habits. Science tests scores are proven to improve with the addition of school gardens as well! I am interested in a year long capstone project where students lead the with inquiry based learning. Students garden will be a peaceful respect where students can go and connect with nature and learn about the environment. This will be a great way to have students learn about science and responsibility!
