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

Gardens are vibrant classrooms for elementary students, offering a hands-on learning experience that fosters curiosity and connection with nature. My students need gardening tools to plant seeds, tend to plants, and observe plant growth. They will learn valuable lessons about responsibility, patience, and environmental stewardship. Gardens provide a multisensory environment, stimulating senses and enhancing cognitive development. They serve as living laboratories for science exploration, teaching botany, ecology, and the importance of biodiversity. Beyond academics, gardens offer therapeutic benefits, promoting mental well-being and reducing stress. They cultivate a sense of community and teamwork as students collaborate to care for their green spaces, fostering a love for nature that lasts a lifetime.
