My Project

One of the joys our students have is tending to our gardens on our school grounds.

Teachers and staff take students outside for outdoor learning in our garden spaces.

Teachers and staff also create lessons based around tending to our garden. Some of these include investigations about plants and their needs. Where other lessons are math related about area and how many plants can go in certain areas.

Please help support my students by adding to their collection of gardening tools so these projects can continue for years to come.

Grades 6-8
