My Project

Our school is in the process of building and designing a garden for both educational as well as nutritional education.

We are building our garden on April 22nd, and these tools will really help 'finish off' the things that we need!

Being able to prune our plants, cut our raspberry stalks, water effectively, and do it safely with gloves will make a huge difference! This school garden will serve all of the students at our school with various hands-on lessons, but we will also be able to help our community with healthy fruit and veggies!

We hope you can help us!

Mr. Boerman
Grades 3-5
