My Project
A classroom garden offers students a powerful, hands-on learning experience that connects academic subjects to real life. Through planting, observing, and caring for their garden, students explore concepts in science, health, math, and environmental studies. They develop an understanding of plant life cycles, nutrition, sustainability, and even teamwork. This kind of learning not only supports curriculum goals but also encourages curiosity, responsibility, and critical thinking in a way that textbooks alone cannot achieve.
Most importantly, the classroom garden will give my students a sense of ownership, pride, and purpose.
Many of my students thrive when given opportunities to work with their hands and see the results of their efforts. The garden will serve as a calming space, a science lab, and a source of healthy food for cooking lessons or snacks. It will also help foster a stronger connection to nature, which can benefit both their mental and physical well-being. With your support, this project will grow far beyond the soil—nurturing confidence, teamwork, and life skills that will last a lifetime.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
