My Project

I teach 7th grade Science to over 100 students. Many of my students have food insecurity and lack a variety of food options in their diet. I think that it is vital that they learn how to grow their very own food by using a garden.

Help me teach my students how to grow their own food, by creating a small garden, in our classroom.

I want to show my students how easy it can be to grow their own vegetables, even if space is limited. The food that we are able to grow will then be sent home with my students.

Mrs. McGrew
Grades 6-8
