My Project

There is something about getting your hands in the dirt and starting a garden that brings so much happiness and satisfaction. From planting that initial seed or starter plant and caring for it day after day – the joy of watching green sprouts and flowers blooming to those plants and flowers becoming beautiful produce to enjoy is truly unmatchable and a labor of love. It's amazing to see the joy this simple sustainable act brings to our students.They learn to appreciate nature, and all of the hard work that is entailed in providing food to our communities.

In our 4th year of our school garden, we would like to venture into growing vegetables for our school community.

We have successfully been able to raise Monarch caterpillars & butterflies, and will continue to do so. In addition, we would like to raise awareness with our student population about how easy it is to grow their own vegetables. Our hope is that it also encourages them to eat more vegetables! We plan to start with snacking veggies such as tomatoes, cucumbers & carrots.
