Raised Garden Bed Project

Help me give my students raised garden beds and soil to developed school based, hands-on learning projects. Students will grow vegetables and cut flowers to market as well as donate in the community.

My Project

Our Agriculture Department is in need of new raised bed planters. The current ones are falling apart and the soil quality is poor, making it difficult for the plants to thrive and students to properly care for them. Donating money for new planters and soil would greatly benefit agriculture students and enhance the student's educational experience.

The new planters will not only improve the aesthetics of the school grounds but also provide a healthier environment for the plants to grow, and allow students to complete projects where they donate vegetables and cut flowers.

With better soil quality, students will be able to learn more about plant care and sustainability. By donating to this cause, you can help create a more vibrant and educational atmosphere at Northwood for years to come.

These planters will also be used to provide for the community, as students will have the opportunity to grow fresh produce to sell at local markets and donate to the local food pantry. This hands-on experience will not only benefit the student's education but also help those within the community. The implementation of these planters will have a lasting impact on both the students and the community for years to come.
