My Project

Here at our school, we have recently begun planting in our brand new garden boxes. However, it has required me to bring in tools from home and to stand outside watering the gardens every day. While I don't mind doing any of these things, I don't have enough tools to share with the students. This project will help me fund tools for the gardens for the students to use safely and a new irrigation system to make watering a little easier and manageable. We are growing so many things in our garden boxes right now and we cannot wait for our students to see the fruits (and vegetables) of their labor!
