My Project

We are working on growing plants we can eat. The goal is for students to understand what plants need to grow and what we can do with them after they are grown. We have learned about the different parts and what they need.Now, we want to grow our plants in the classroom. We need to continue to read and learn while planting and watching them grow by writing and drawing in a journal.

The 4Ft vertical raised garden bed - 5 tier food safe planter box for outdoor and indoor gardening is perfect for growing our herbs, vegetables, and flowers will allow us to do this along with the full spectrum grow light for indoor plants, 270 LEDs growing lamp with auto on/off timer.

When our flowers are grown we will use Mod Podge to add flowers to our homemade paper we have made from recycled paper we have shredded.
