My Project

The donation will provide the experience of sustainable living. Garden supplies promote learning about the power of having control of what they eat by being able to grow their vegetables.

Students will work together to choose the plants they would like to plant.

From there they will work together to put the soil in their pots and to plant their seeds. Every day they will make observations to witness the growth. Once the plant is ready to harvest they will take it home to share with their parents to eat their vegetables.
