Growing with the ASM Garden Club!

Help me give my students the opportunity to start outdoor raised garden beds! Our garden club has been busy learning about plants and different methods of growing gardens. Our next step is to start growing outdoors this spring!

My Project

The students in the ASM Garden Club are super excited to start gardening outdoors this spring! This fall and winter we have explored growing plants in our small aquaponics and hydroponics setups. We are learning about the needs of plants and how to problem solve issues that arise.

The raised garden beds would be an excellent addition to our outdoor school space and be a place for all students in the school to engage with gardening for years to come!

The seeds and soil would help us start our raised gardens this spring. The gardening tools would be used for years to come by current and future ASM gardeners. Thank you for considering sponsoring this hands-on raised garden bed project!
