Life Science Garden

Help me give my students an indoor garden to watch grow and become part of our school's courtyard.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Crossley's classroom raised $469

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I have created a way that my students can experience building and creating an actual classroom garden. With these supplies of various grow kids, garden kits, planters, and seed starters, my students will not only get to experience how to grow and maintain a garden, but they will also get to see the end results of a successful garden in and out of the classroom.

This experience will allow all my students to see how they can create a successful garden.

These beautiful plants and flowers will be used to add to our school's outdoor courtyard area once fully grown.
