Indigo Blues

Help me give my students a chance to nurture seedlings with a heated propagator, peat pots, and soil that will allow us to grow Indigo, a plant that is part of our local region's rich culture and history.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Our 4th grade curriculum includes learning about perspectives in South Carolina history. Indigo was grown in early South Carolina to produce a blue dye that was exported to England for use in the British textile industry. Students will be able to grow their own indigo using peat pots and soil in a heated propagator.

By donating to our project, you will allow our students to make authentic connections between history, science, and art.

We are a STEAM school working toward a certification in Arts in the Basic Curriculum. Seeds were donated to us by a native of Daufuskie Island, and we would love to germinate them to then be planted in our school garden.
