Instead of only learning about ecosystems and biodiversity in a classroom, we'll be able to see these ideas happening around us.\r\n\r\nThis project will also give students the opportunity to work together, take responsibility for caring for living things, and contribute something positive to our school community. We'll be able to watch the garden change throughout the seasons and use it as a place to learn about plants, insects, and the important role pollinators play in our environment.
