Salsa Garden

Help me give my students a planter, soil and seeds to grow a salsa garden.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Ankers's classroom raised $167

My Project

The space outside of my STEAM door is begging for a mini garden! My students would love planting, tending, growing and eating from their very own Salsa Garden. It's always so cool to watch the wonder of kids watching plants grow! Even better if we can mix them into our very own salsa to snack on!

I teach PreK, ESE and K thru 5th grade; therefore, a lot of students would benefit from the observation and participation in a mini garden.

I give the different grades different tasks. We may even try a flower garden too!
