Our school's community garden is an oasis rooted in love. Since 2011, our students, teachers, and parents have worked collaboratively to share the produce from our garden with our school community and local food pantries.
Our project aims to revitalize our garden with the tools we need to maintain this vital space during a time when many of our families are struggling tremendously due to the lingering effects of the pandemic. The garden is a pesticide-free outdoor classroom where students grow and eat a variety of fresh herbs and vegetables. Food is grown in raised beds, and we have a three-zone composting system to minimize waste. We also have a pollinator zone with native plants which is an essential part of a healthy ecosystem. Students will learn about the water cycle and the need to conserve this valuable resource.
We need durable hoses that will last throughout the growing season. We also need wheelbarrows to efficiently transport plants and compost. Finally, the hand trowels, rakes, and pruners will be used for demonstration as well as for the much-needed upkeep required when tending to a garden. With your help, we can continue to provide quality gardening instruction to our students and continue to support their health, well-being, and community.
