Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Our urban school garden is six years old and flourishing! We are proud to have a huge school garden and our students enjoy visiting and caring for it.

We need potting soil and plant labeling stakes to have a successful spring season.

We need potting soil as well as plant stakes to have a successful spring season.

The potting soil will be used throughout the garden in our potato bags to grow potatoes as well as our flower pots. The garden plant stakes will help us label the plants so all students and staff will know exactly what we are growing in the garden. We appreciate your support! Thanks for helping our urban garden to grow!
