Outdoor Educational Garden

Help me give my students raised bed gardens to learn science and connect to nature!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Gudknecht's classroom raised $938

My Project

Hello, and thank you for considering to help fund this project! We are transforming our underutilized school courtyard into an outdoor learning area with an outside classroom, rain garden, and raised garden beds for students to grow flowers and vegetables.

The purpose of the garden beds is two-fold.

First, all garden activities will be tied to grade-level science standards - the best way to learn is to do! Second, gardening improves kids' well-being by connecting them to nature and giving them a sense of accomplishment. We truly appreciate your consideration!
