My Project
We have the garden beds and soil, now we are ready to plant and grow our own food and plants. We are in the process of creating garden space to promote project based learning. We will learn about the life cycle of a plant and the process of farm to table. In this project we have a few items that will help us while we are growing our crops. We need a good watering hoses and the tools to work in our garden beds. Then tubs to keep our stuff safe and organized. This project will provide the students with the opportunity to learn and watch the process of how we get our food.
