Elementary School Garden

Help me give my students gardening supplies to help support environmental stewardship, healthy eating, and sustainability at our Elementary School.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Johansen's classroom raised $705

This project is fully funded

My Project

We are reimagining our school garden and have been working on the remodel for over a year now. We are transforming our garden to help our students develop healthy eating habits, learn about environmental stewardship, experience local native plants, and support students with unique sensory needs.

Our garden team has been working hard to create an inclusive space where children can learn about our environment, have their sensory needs met, and develop healthy eating habits.

Our school garden is in need of gardening tools for our students to help make our dream a reality. Our school does not have enough garden tools for our students.

With this project, the students will have access to gardening gloves, gardening tools, collection baskets to harvest produce, and wagons to transport the supplies across campus.

These supplies will make our garden more accessible and interactive, and will bring our school one step closer to creating our dream garden.

Thank you for supporting us!
