My Project

Our students have had a greenhouse donated to them and need items to get it started. These items will help us to set up the greenhouse and give us a place to start growing!

Help our students learn to grow their own food!

This will teach students about plants, food, and agriculture. We will be growing fruits, vegetables, and herbs to use in multiple classrooms in the school.

Students will be responsible for choosing, planting, and maintaining their crops. The greenhouse shelf, trellising kit, seeds, planters, lights, thermometer, and tool sets in this project will allow us to set up the greenhouse and get started!

Grades 6-8
