Many of my students have never had the opportunity to get their hands dirty in a garden, but when given the opportunity they love the experience! In the past, I have had my students grow seedlings in the classroom to learn about reproduction, the scientific method and photosynthesis, but we have been very limited in terms of space and supplies.
Having a special, separate space to plant seeds would provide the students with hours of meaningful, hands-on learning. With this greenhouse they will be able to grow plants and learn about their photosynthetic neighbors year-round. The greenhouse will be used for classroom lab activities, as well as for the gardening club to explore the world of botany.
