The Problem
The problem we want to fix is the lack of access to sustainable gardening spaces and hands-on environmental learning opportunities for middle school students in our community. Many students have limited experience with growing their own food or understanding the role of native plants in supporting pollinators. Without these experiences, young people often feel disconnected from the environment and are less aware of how their choices affect local ecosystems, wildlife, and food systems. Our project will help address this need by creating a school garden that builds knowledge, responsibility, and environmental stewardship.
