We are looking to enrich and expand our classroom curriculum with a year-round growing environment. To help students take pride in a broader education from solar power, sustainability and geometry — to aquatic life, plant life cycle, seed to harvest and independence. Endless opportunities to teach responsibility, stewardship, life cycles and much more hopefully while increasing students pride. To help them gain confidence, take ownership and enjoy a strong sense of accomplishment as they experience firsthand the impact of their regular actions in real time. Students can learn accountability by growing plants in a greenhouse. It allows students to apply what they’ve learned in class to real-life situations. This environmental research focuses on understanding nature’s wonders and laws. Where students can experiment with crop varieties and cross-pollination, heating, cooling etc. Students benefit from these greenhouses in terms of their physical, emotional, and personal well-being. Being in the garden brings happiness and improves one’s quality of life. Students can learn about current events in the world, such as climate change, global warming, and how it affects plants. All students will benefit from learning about plants’ reactions to light, heat, and cold, as well as how to combat these reactions using the greenhouse. With a greenhouse at the school, students can investigate various plant varieties, plant morphology, photosynthesis, soil, and watering requirements in real time. The ability to provide a garden for all seasons thanks to a greenhouse would help to spread the message of planting and growing food.
