About the Program:
The Whole Kids grant will provide funds to add an irrigation system and some additional Earthboxes and seedlings for our current garden project. We have teamed up with Home Depot and People Educating People Inc. to expand our garden program which includes hydroponic and plantar box gardens. With the addition of these materials, each class will have garden access right outside of their classrooms with the aide of an irrigation system to help keep gardens watered at the optimal times (in the morning and evening hours). This garden will also help bring parents and community volunteers together around the common theme of food.
