Flamingo Elementary

We currently have a small garden, which I started with my students two years ago. The students involvement in planning and caring for the garden has motivated and excited them to become more involved. I would love to have our garden expand in size in order to allow the students to share and enjoy the harvesting of our produce. Currently, there isn't enough to share with everyone. I want to be able to involve not only our student body and staff, but the families of our students as well - to have a true "community" garden for everyone to enjoy. As an Art Specialist at my school, I involve my students with not only learning about the value of growing our own food, but the beauty of nature. They enjoy spending time observing and sketching in our garden and I hope to create a larger space for them to explore their artistic abilities while enjoying the "fruits of their labors"!
