Our Pollinator Garden

Help me give my students the joy of gardening in a safe, nurturing outdoor classroom.

My Project

Gardens are an excellent way to enrich our students' learning about the natural world. There are social-emotional benefits to communing with nature through gardening and cultivating living things. Many of our students have limited access to outdoor spaces. Our garden provides a safe place to meditate, learn, and decompress. We would like to add four raised beds to our garden, and also need rakes, garden tools, and kneeling pads. We are a Title I school, which means the majority of our students come from low-income families and receive free or reduced-price lunch.

Our students are creative, bright, wonderful young people who look forward to coming to school every day.

Not only do they explore academically, but take part in music classes, singing, playing stringed instruments, dancing, acting, and writing. I would describe my school as a joyous place where kids can be themselves and explore both their inner and outer worlds.

Your donation would help us to create an outdoor classroom. This will enable us to create a lab environment where students can explore the outdoor world around them to learn about nature, life cycles, weather, painting landscapes, creating sound gardens, gardening, the water cycle, butterflies, animal habitats, healthy eating, and mindful meditation.
