SAA Secret Garden - Rainwater Collection System

Help me give my students a rain barrel water collection system for the Savannah Arts Academy Secret Garden.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Barnwell's classroom raised $482

This project is fully funded

My Project

The SAA Green Club is a student-led organization providing stewardship for the Secret Garden and the Academic Research Garden. Student members plan individual projects from budgeting to execution of the project on the Beautification Work Days. Our vision is to use the Secret Garden space as a performance venue for the Savannah Arts Academy and an outdoor classroom for students and teachers.

The Secret Garden transformation is almost complete, but our garden plants need water.

There is no exterior water system for the Secret Garden so a rain barrel collection system must be built to support our spring garden efforts. Help us provide a rainwater collection system to support the student project work in the Secret Garden.
