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

The primary objective of the Plant Club is to provide students with opportunities to engage in practical learning experiences related to plants, gardening, and environmental stewardship. Through hands-on activities, workshops, and projects, students will better understand plant biology, ecology, and sustainable gardening practices.

The tilling tools, plant soil, and plant lights will help them dive into the world of propagation.

Plant clubs provide opportunities for hands-on learning experiences, allowing students to engage with nature directly. Students can develop a deeper understanding of biological concepts such as photosynthesis, germination, and plant life cycles by planting seeds, observing plant growth, and caring for plants.

Plant clubs encourage teamwork and collaboration as students plan and maintain the club's garden or greenhouse. They learn to communicate effectively, share responsibilities, and solve problems as a team, fostering critical social and interpersonal skills.
