My Project

We are opening a new preschool at our elementary school. We have a big, open outdoor space that is a blank slate.

We need your help creating a garden space for students to learn and grow!

By purchasing a raised garden bed, soil, seeds watering cans, and more, you will be providing a wonderful space for our students to learn! Learning how to grow your own food and plants is an important life skill. With your help students will be able to practice these life skills. Having a garden in our outdoor play space would really enhance our learning each day. Thank you for your support!
