My Project

With the help of Donors Choose donors and the local community, our garden club has been successful in building productive and beautiful container beds. We want to continue that success with your help. The Garden club wants to build a space for permanent raised beds to grow vegetables and native flowers to demonstrate to our students how food grows, and how much more delicious it can be when it’s grown with your own hands! With your donation, we can continue to introduce and educate students about sustainable food practices and organic gardening, while helping local pollinators do their important job!
