My Project

I am currently teaching at a Title I school where 71% of the students qualify for free or reduced price lunch. I would love seeds, pots, soil and more to teach them the joy of gardening and growing their own healthy foods!

Kids love to plant and garden!

They would have a wonderful, educational experience learning how to care for seedling and eventually seeing the "fruits" of their labor. Hopefully this skill will continue on throughout their lives, making them life-long gardeners. Providing their own healthy vegetables for their friends and family. Organic, fresh veggies and herbs cannot be beat!
