Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

The Garden Club is an elective class at my school during which students care for our outdoor planters, design experiments for our indoor botany lab and grow new plants in the indoor greenhouse.

Students will use the germination pad, peat starters, small pots and trays to start seeds and the lighting for our midsize plants and indoor flower garden.

Bug traps will help us keep the side effects of our experiments down (no fruit fly swarm breeding!) while the hydroponic nutrients and cups can be used to set up our hydroponic piping.
