With these funds we will create an herb/vegetable to complement our tropical fruit orchard trees in our backyard. We have a culinary program that needs to be sustainable.

School gardens are a wonderful way to use the schoolyard as a classroom, reconnect students with the natural world and the true source of their food, and teach them valuable gardening and agriculture concepts and skills that integrate with several subjects, such as math, science, art, health and physical education, and social studies, as well as several educational goals, including personal and social responsibility.

Experience and research have shown numerous benefits of school gardens and natural landscaping:

• students learn focus and patience, cooperation, teamwork and social skills

• achievement scores improve because learning is more relevant and hands-on

• students become more fit and healthy as they spend more time active in the outdoors and start choosing healthy foods over junk
  food

• the schoolyard is diversified and beautified

Our students deserve these resources and experience to make them more responsible and have a feeling of ownership!

The supplies needed are:

Soil, seeds, tools, gloves, etc.
