Sowing the Seeds of Learning

Help me give my students seeds and supplies to start a seed library and grow plants in their school garden

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Emily's classroom raised $449

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our school recently built a community garden, where each grade has a space to grow plants of their choice. However, many individual classes do not have access to seeds or gardening materials. Additionally, our students require more resources and information about native plants so they can learn to use their garden spaces effectively. Without the supplies needed to use their garden spaces, students are missing out on opportunities to learn and be involved with the community garden. Establishing a seed library in our school library will give all students easy access to the gardening materials and resources needed to use their community gardens successfully.

The seed library will help our students learn about nature and be active in our school community.

After reading and learning about which plants would be best for their garden space, students will be able to check out seeds, fertilizer, and gloves to use for gardening. The seed library will empower students be involved in their school community by growing plants alongside their fellow students and teachers. Students will also be able to learn about native plants and our local ecosystem.
