Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

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

How great would it be to give kids a garden? So many have no green space near them. It is even better if students can use some green space to create and observe. Please help me to give my students a class garden to cultivate throughout the school year.

Picture students feeling soil between their fingers, Each child watering and caring for their own plant in a planter box made just for them.

This can be a reality rather than just a dream. The cart will help students move the soil, gardening tools and succulents when they are working in the garden. Please gift my students with a cart, soil and succulents so that they can plant a garden in our desert landscape.
