In today’s digital age, many youngsters are spending increasing amount of time on their phones and less time engaging with their communities or the natural environment. This has led to decreased physical activity, weakened social connections, and a limited understanding of where food comes from.
Our plan is to start a Hydroculture garden at our school. Students can get their hands dirty, grow their own food, and rediscover the joy of connection — to the earth, to healthy food, and to each other. The garden creates a space where children can learn, collaborate, and strengthen both personal well-being and community ties. We work with a local University and our garden is part of many hydroculture gardens in the nearby community and beyond in our state.
