The Problem

The problem we want to fix is the lack of hands-on environmental education and access to sustainable practices within our school and community. By creating a student-led greenhouse, we aim to provide practical learning opportunities that promote environmental awareness, self-sufficiency, and community engagement.

Our Plan

The actions we are planning include designing and building an 8x10 greenhouse, selecting and planting various herbs, vegetables, and native plants, and organizing workshops for students and community members. Additionally, we’ll hold open days to share sustainable gardening practices and involve the community in ongoing greenhouse care.
