From Seed to Success: Helping Students Thrive

Help me give my students a chance to dig into gardening and grow their love of learning!

My Project

I’m a speech therapist at a public school serving students with disabilities in a low-income community. Many of my students have little to no access to green spaces. With your support, we’d like to bring gardening into our classroom. My students are curious, hands-on learners who love gardening and watching things grow.

This project will give my students the opportunity to plant, nurture and watch their plants grow.

The students will decorate and personalize their planting pots using stickers and markers. It’s a chance for them to engage in a sensory-rich, interactive learning experience that promotes healthy eating, life skills, and language development. Your donation will help us cultivate not just plants, but curiosity and learning. Thank you for helping us get this project off the ground!
