Addison Mizner Elementary School

The goal of the AMES Inspiration Garden is three-fold:

1) We are excited to introduce hydroponic technology to our students. This eco-friendly gardening method will help introduce sustainability to students through hands-on responsbile gardening with no harmful chemicals and 90% less water.

2) The garden will serve as a source of inspiration for students for a multitude of disciplines including art, creative writing, and science. Both visually appealing and rewarding in seeing a seedling sprout to being harvested, the AMES inspiration garden will not only produce fresh found, but fresh ideas, as well.

3) Plantings in the garden wll be healthy and nutrient rich fruits, vegetables, and herbs. We anticipate sharing our crops with our local food bank, Boca Helping Hands, as well as selling the produce to our families at PTA events, with all profits put directly back into the program. These uses will allow students to help the community, while helping themselves.
