My Project

My students needs help with keeping our school garden growing. We are requesting gardening gloves, seeds, potting soil, a hose and gardening tools to help us revive the garden.

The students are eager to help beautify the school garden and want to volunteer their time after school in order to accomplish this.

We need gloves and garden trowels for the students to use as they work on the garden. We are also asking for these resources so that my students can have access to healthy food right in the back of our school. This will be something that the community can access.
