My Project

Gardening supports academic achievement, helps students develop a healthy lifestyle, enhances their awareness and appreciation of the environment. and helps them develop a sense of community.

The garden is an excellent classroom, allowing students to see results of their work and instilling pride, ownership, and responsibility.

A school garden is also place for students to unplug from technology. School gardens and the lessons they teach can improve the lives of children from all backgrounds in many ways because they promote educational equity by ensuring that hands-on learning opportunities are not just for a select few, but for all students.

School gardens offer numerous benefits to students, teachers, and the community. They provide hands-on learning opportunities, promote healthy lifestyles, and teach important lessons about environmental conservation and sustainability.
