My Project

The gardening season is soon upon us and my students would like to be able to learn how to grow food from seed and be able to maintain them throughout the season. I have the grow lights so the students will be able to go ahead and start growing the seeds in the classroom to get ahead of the weather. We will use the trays to put the seeds in to grow in class with the lamps. Once they start to sprout, they will be moved to the greenhouse outside until it's time to plant them in the above-ground or in-ground gardens. The fertilizer will then be used to make sure the plants stay healthy until it is time to harvest!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
