School Garden

Help me give my students the science experience of growing their own food.

My Students

Our 5th-grade classroom of elementary students consist of culturally different backgrounds in a school that has over 900 students. We are located in a suburb of a major, capital city in an HOA community. This group of students also includes students with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD).

The students are inquisitive, compassionate, and creative.

Some have an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) that requires positive motivation to help them be successful in a mainstream classroom. It is beneficial for students to connect with their teacher while distance learning.

My Project

A school garden aligns perfectly with academic outcomes. Help me take learning out of the books and into the hands of my students.

With the Tower Garden I can take the science to where the learning happens.

We can grow healthy, nutritious food using a fraction of the amount of water that traditional gardens use, and without the need for pesticides and chemicals.

We can integrate learning with the world my students live in. Students are seeing first-hand the effects of climate change. We can solve real-world problems with creative solutions.

A Tower Garden helps a student's mental wellbeing. If a student is responsible for something, it improves their mood. The students love coming in everyday and seeing what their plant is doing! Not to mention, a Tower Garden is so soothing - the lights and the water are very calming. This will be especially helpful in our recent stressful climate.
