My Project

Gardens offer numerous benefits to students, including enhanced learning, improved mental health, physical activity, environmental awareness, social skills, and nutrition education.

The items I am requesting will provide hands-on learning opportunities in subjects like science, math, and environmental studies, allowing students to observe plant life cycles, measure growth, and understand ecosystems.

The raised planters, seeds, and gardening tools will allow students to have everything they need to create, maintain, and watch their garden grow! Gardening also promotes physical activity, environmental awareness, and teamwork, fostering a healthy lifestyle. Additionally, gardens promote the importance of fresh produce in a healthy diet, which promotes overall well-being.
