In the name of the much neglected Rio Grande Valley and in order to promote leadership and growth within our largely Hispanic population, we have proposed a project to build a community garden. The students will be tasked with cultivating and building this wonderful garden. The garden itself will serve a purpose much greater than that of what it may seem.
The garden will include a study and relaxation area that includes butterfly pollinated plants in six individual raised beds around a gazebo totaling over seven hundred square feet.
The entire garden will have several raised beds growing a variety of vegetables and fruits that will be used in different ways to benefit the community that include but are not limited to: Open House Nights, Needy family drives, and our own student body. This entire project will help to foster the ideas and concepts of responsibility, accountability, and teamwork between all the students and organizations that will be in charge of different sections in the garden. The plants will also serve the purpose of education as they will be used in dissections and class presentations.
We are requesting different materials to help this along. A landscape drip irrigation kit to help set up raised beds, a wheelbarrow to carry different materials through the garden, pruners to trim plants, a water hose to help water the beds, among others needed to properly keep our garden in good repair.
