My Project

This project will allow students to grow vegetable and herbs in the classroom with a hydroponic growing system. This system will make it possible to pick vegetables for students to eat, make salsa, or share with the school cooks.

Students will learn how hydroponic farming works, and how easy it is to do so in the classroom.

They will be so excited to maintain water and nutrient levels to keep the plants happy. Who knows, we may even inspire a future farmer. Thank you for supporting this project and most importantly, my kiddos!
