My Project
The materials requested will provide students with a more interactive and hands-on approach to learning landscaping and plant science. Visual aids such as a document camera and digital modeling tools will allow students to see detailed demonstrations of plant structures, landscape design principles, and proper planting techniques. Additionally, access to real-world landscaping tools and materials will enable students to practice skills such as plant selection, soil preparation, and design implementation. By incorporating these tools, students will gain a deeper understanding of plant care, environmental impact, and career pathways in the green industry.
The primary goal of this project is to enhance student engagement and understanding of fundamental landscaping and plant science concepts.
Students will not only learn the science behind plant growth and landscape design but also apply their knowledge through practical experiences. Another key goal is to introduce students to career opportunities in horticulture, landscaping, and environmental design. By providing high-quality resources, this project will foster creativity, problem-solving, and technical skills that can be applied in future careers or personal projects.
