The Problem

I believe that people with disabilities are often excluded from environmental work. I want to help kids with Down Syndrome get their hands dirty and work with plants. I hope this project inspires them to bring their new found plant knowledge home. I want to get children with disabilities more aware of the plants in their environment.

Our Plan

I want to purchase pots and seeds and teach kids with down syndrome how to care for seeds and watch them grow.
