Xavier Elementary

Our garden goal is to educate students about healthy lifestyle choices and encourage them to make healthier choices in their everyday lives. Various garden produce gives students an opportunity to taste a wider variety of fruits and vegetables. The garden will also enable us to teach environmental awareness and sustainability practices through hands-on activities. This grant will help us maintain the garden by funding the creation of an efficient watering system.

The proposed water system would be buried underground and use a series of drip tapes that will be placed strategically to cover each bed. This enhances the watering of our crops but also conserves our precious water resources. This project will be an example of water conservation and sustainability practices for our students. Additional grant funds will also help us to expand the garden with fruit trees.
