Apollo Middle School

The Daniel Torres Reading Garden is a school-based garden initially designed to educate students about basic growing concepts. It is also an environment intended to inspire students to read. We are currently expanding the project to incorporate hydroponic growing and compost fertilizing, as well as developing a larger growing section of vegetation rather than flowers in order to serve as a community garden in the future. Our larger vision for this project is to develop a hands-on learning environment that is sustainable long-term, and that will serve a larger communal purpose.
