My Project

This project consists of all the basics we need to start our garden club! This spring, we will be restarting our garden club at our school! Our current garden has been a complete eye sore and this project provides the basics we need to start our club out on the right foot.

This project provides seeds, seed starter trays, gardening gloves and spades for the students and trellis sets to grow climbing vegetables.

These supplies will provide us with the tools and supplies we need to grow our first set of crops. Our school also has a special celebration each spring called "A Taste of the Garden" where the school taste tests the crops we grow. This would be a huge financial weight lifted off my shoulders and would give the students the supplies we need to be successful. Our current garden has been in complete shambles with weeds and rotted wood garden beds. I have already cleared the garden and it is ready for new life! This is very much a passion project that I can not get off the ground without your help! I absolutely can not wait to send you before and after pictures! Thank you so much for your consideration and generosity! Without your support, this would not be possible.
