Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Help our Kindergarten Class get supplies to create an outdoor and indoor hydroponic tower vegetable garden. I have introduced my love and plants and gardening to my class and we have been propagating and growing plants in our class all year. My students have developed a love for the process.

Many of my students live in apartments or shared housing and may not have an opportunity to grow vegetable gardens at their homes.

I want them to be able to learn the steps from seed planting to care for creating a garden that we will be able to eat from. We need supplies to create garden beds, soil, seeds, starter plants, and garden tools.

My goal is to instill a love of gardening by exposing them to the mental and physical health benefits.
