Kinder Farming

Help me give my students mulch to keep our soil rich and full of nutrients as the blistering hot summer approaches us. Also, we would like two birds baths to enhance the look of our garden.

My Project

I love how my students love to go outside and garden. My kindergarteners love to plant new seedlings, pull weeds, create compost, and harvest fruits, vegetables and herbs. Even though it has been very hot recently here in Hawaii my students never complain about the heat and being tired while they work on the farm.

We are looking forward to to putting mulch in our garden and planting new seeds.

My students are very eager to help keep expanding our garden. We are off to a good start but need a few more materials to maximize our plants. We are looking forward to getting mulch so the sun doesn't dry out the nutrients in our soil, and we are looking to getting a variety of different seeds to plant new fruits and vegetables.
