Pollinators and Waterways

Help me give my students a garden.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Jones's classroom raised $692

This project is fully funded

My Project

What I love most about my students is their curiosity, creativity, and enthusiasm for hands-on learning. They thrive when they can explore, ask questions, and see the results of their efforts. A pollinator garden is the perfect learning tool for them—it brings science, environmental awareness, and teamwork to life.

Every resource in the garden has a purpose:

Native plants teach students about ecosystems and attract pollinators for observation.

Soil and compost help them learn about nutrients, decomposition, and sustainability.

Raised beds and tools give them responsibility and practical skills through planting and care.

Rain barrels or mulch show water conservation in action.

Signs and journals help them document and share what they learn.

This garden will not only beautify our space but also grow our students’ minds and hearts.
