This is our campus鈥檚 first garden club, aimed at teaching students how hard work, teamwork, and research pays off. Our club will educate our students on our local growing seasons, they will make new friends and learn new skills. Additionally, our students will learn important social and business skills from selling at our booth at the farmer鈥檚 market. This garden will serve our school as an outdoor classroom benefiting classes studying photosynthesis, the butterfly life cycle, and hopefully inspire community service. We will grow cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, green onion, parsley, dill, mint, cilantro, sage, and basil. Our pollinator garden will grow milkweed, bee balm, gulf coast penstemon, and russelia. Our students and campus were severely devastated by Hurricane Harvey last year and just moved to a brand-new campus January 8, 2019. Our club wants to bring this garden to our new school as a fresh start and symbol of growth after the damage brought by Hurricane Harvey. Over half of or our students are on subsidized lunch. This garden serves as an opportunity to teach and encourage growing and eating healthy foods. Your donation goes towards garden tools essential to making this happen for us. Heavy duty watering cans, to feed our plants, that will last for years to come. Ten sets of hand tools for students to plant, prune and maintain our garden and grow bags that will be used to grow specifically carrots and herbs for the club to sell at our community farmer's market this spring.
