My Project

Our project will include purchasing raised garden beds. We will plant fruits and vegetables. Our plan is to be able to cook the veggies we grow. Students will be hands-on in every step of the process. They will do the planting and weeding.

The students will observe the veggies growing and try foods they have never eaten before.

They will be able to take the vegetables harvested to our school cafeteria. The cafeteria will be able to cook and serve what they had grown.

This is a great opportunity for students to learn to grow food and take care of it. They will be able to observe the life cycles of the plants.
