Community Garden

Help me give my students the joy of plants in a gardening club.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Langston's classroom raised $863

My Project

My students and I would like to create a community garden with strawberries, cherries, and blackberries.

A community garden fosters unity, sustainability, and education.

It provides fresh produce, promotes healthy eating, and reduces grocery costs. Gardening teaches responsibility, patience, and environmental stewardship while offering hands-on learning opportunities for all ages. It enhances green spaces, improves air quality, and supports local wildlife. A shared garden builds social connections, strengthens neighborhoods, and encourages teamwork. It can serve as a therapeutic escape, reducing stress and promoting well-being. By cultivating a community garden, people invest in their health, environment, and relationships, creating a lasting, positive impact on their community.
