St.James Catholic School

Our Garden's goal is to Provide healthy food for our students during the school year and local food bank through out the summer. We would like to use the money from the grant to build a small shed to store tools and green house to start plants early, purchase child friendly tools, a rain barrel to harvest rain and save resources, fertilizer as the soil is poor quality, seeds for growing and plants for the coming spring. We are interested in growing fruit trees and starting a melon patch. Our school currently provides a daily healthy snack for every child five day a week. By growing the food, we cut the cost of supplying that food down significantly. This Grant would allow us to continue to educate and feed the children in our community. This money will benefit our community school garden for years to come. Please consider this when choosing if we are a good fit. We would like to thank you in advance for considering our school for this grant. "Be the Change You want to see in the World". Gardening has changed my life for ever and I hope to help others change the world.
