Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

My Project

We are reaching out for support to acquire essential garden supplies in celebration of Earth Day, tailored to the unique climate of South Florida and our local environment. These resources will enable us to expand our vegetable and herb cultivation program, fostering sustainable practices that resonate with our region's ecosystem. Our aim is to offer students a hands-on opportunity to engage with nature, learn about our local flora, and cultivate an appreciation for healthy eating. By investing in these supplies, we can create a more impactful educational experience that empowers students to make informed choices about their health and environmental impact. Your contribution will directly support our efforts to cultivate a greener, healthier community while celebrating Earth Day's spirit of stewardship and sustainability.
