My Project

We are in the process of getting our class garden up and running. This year we will be using our garden to help support us with our Blue Watermelon Grant. The Bluewatermelon project will help teach my students about nutrition, cooking and gardening by delivering locally grown produce and a recipe to our school every other month. In order to participate in this project, we must maintain a school garden. Our previous donors choose helped to provide us with garden beds. However the watering system we planned on using is not sufficient, and we are in need of new hoses. By donating to this project you will help us maintain our class garden!
