My Project

Our school has the perfect area for a community garden to be planted by students and cared for by our families and community during the summer months. We have garden boxes in this space that are needing to be replaced and our garden needs to be restarted. The products I have selected have a 10 year life span that will ensure our garden will be bearing food for our community for years to come.

Our Family Involvement Team has a garden committee that has a plan to plant and care for the garden throughout the summer.

This Team is also committed to involving our students every step of the way!
