The Problem

We want to revitalize and repurpose the courtyard space that is within an elementary school. We will utilize existing garden beds to plant crops that will be harvested and given to families in need.

Our Plan

Through the school's Friday Club, we will create a group of young people engaged in the garden to plant, care for, and cultivate this space, while learning about food insecurity and the way we are addressing this problem.
