Children are playing outside less and less. Dirty hands and knees are disappearing while callused thumbs are growing. The joy of helping something grow is such a pleasure to so many people. The students in our school would love the opportunity to feel that same joy.
Growing plants is an amazing activity for a class to learn basic Botany plus build a class community, but giving my class the opportunity to have a garden is something our school has wanted for some time.
Having a school garden and the tools needed will give our students a place where they can plant seeds and watch their sprouts grow to their fullest potential and produce vegetables or ornamental flowers!
This project has many of the basic items that will be needed to start a new school garden. Gardening tools, gloves and shaded hats for a classroom of students to use (and share) to work in the dirt. This project also includes several metal raised beds, hoses to water, and even a little cart to keep all the items stored in. All we'll need to get is some dirt and learn all about plants and their parts!
