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

Welcome to the STEM Middle School Garden Club—where science, sustainability, and creativity come to life! Our club is all about hands-on learning as students explore the exciting world of gardening through both traditional and modern methods.

With access to our school greenhouse and innovative hydroponic towers, members grow fruits, vegetables, and herbs while learning about plant biology, ecosystems, and eco-friendly practices.

To support our growing projects, we are asking for essential tools like an EC/pH tester to monitor water quality and ensure healthy plant growth, hydroponic sponges for efficient seed starting, and mini greenhouses to give seedlings the perfect environment to thrive. A tool chest helps us stay organized and ready for any planting, pruning, or harvesting task. Whether you're a future Biologist, gardener, or just love getting your hands dirty, the STEM Middle School Garden Club is a fun, educational way to connect with nature, practice real-world STEM skills, and help our school community grow.
