Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

BES Garden Club members are super enthusiastic to get our garden jumpstarted! Currently we are lacking the adequate tools and materials needed to help get our garden jumpstarted and growing successfully.

The requested garden tools and materials will be used to further our mission to integrate a hands-on experience that will promote and encourage healthy, lifelong nutritious eating habits, while enriching their knowledge on environmental and self-sustainability, permaculture growing methods and application.

Our goal is to provide a garden-based learning experience in a fully equipped outdoor, living classroom, our school garden. The water hose, garden tools, seeds, soil, and all other garden material and tools will be utilized to aid in our ongoing interaction with the growing process and life cycle of the plants and food we will be raising. Each item is essential and will make all the difference in not only the success of the school garden, but also in whether or not we are successful in fostering, cultivating, growing, and holding their interest in gardening. It is truly something special to nurture their desire to grow food and be self-sustainable!
