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 Students

My students come from different economic backgrounds. Mostly, low-income. They are curious, creative, smart and love hand-on activities. Engaging in challenging projects give them opportunities to think outside the box and find solutions. Our school is nestled in heart of Echo Park, an exciting city quickly- evolving neighborhood and a community of young creative, artists, and musicians.

My Project

We need garden boxes to grow small plots of veggies and flowers. Root vegetables such us carrots, beets, radishes and parsnips flourish in loose, rock-free soil where they will have the space to spread out.

Using raised garden beds for growing our veggies will allow us to control the soil quality and prevent it from becoming compacted.

Crops will be healthier and more productive in a raised bed because it will be easier to control the drainage. Another great advantage of raised beds is that they sit will above the underground frostline.
