Maximo Elementary School

The Edible Peace Patch Project seeks to address the impacts of racism and poverty in the Tampa Bay area by undertaking food system interventions. Through working with children and youth in the schoolyard educational gardens, we hope to make the community healthier, cultivate sustainable values, and encourage academic and social achievement. With this grant, we will be able to expand our use of our new seed table by adding an irrigation system. Once irrigation is added, it can become a more meaningful part of the seed germination lesson. Additional supplies needed include- seed pots and trays, hoes and more garden gloves for the students.
