The Problem

I would like to start an indoor garden with my special education classroom. This will allow students to take care of a living thing and teach compassion and responsibility. Students will be able to grow and harvest their own food.

Our Plan

An indoor greenhouse will allow students to grow their own food. This will help students make healthy food choices and understand where their food comes from. Students will plant seeds and learn what it takes to care for plants.
