Lander Valley High School

A grant of this size will ensure the future of the garden in tangible ways. First, we plan to use the grant to help pay for an automated watering system, tied in to the football field's watering system. We should also build a fence in our little corner in order to have a completely enclosed garden space. Critters are abundant around here.

Ultimately, we simply want our garden to become self-sufficient. We want to pay for tools, seeds, and other accoutrements with farmer's market profits. Perhaps more importantly, we want to demonstrate that gardening provides myriad learning opportunities in various content areas. From math to chemistry to English to agriculture, a garden can serve as an outdoor classroom.
