What is Project Green Pride?
Would you agree with me that our kids just don’t get outside as much as in previous generations? With the fast pace of technology it seems that everything has become “virtual.” I suppose there will be an “ap” one day for “virtual outside.”
Several years ago we started Project Green Pride. We have currently built and maintain six raised garden beds. Mr. Johnson is a certified Square Foot Gardening instructor. The beds are bed on these principles. Students are allowed to choose and plant their own squares. Additionally, we have a 300 square foot “porch” in the garden. Our future plans include building a small pond and a dry creek bed.
In addition to gardening we are seeking outside learning opportunities such as scavenger hunts using GPS units, outside cooking opportunities, and service learning projects.
Donations of time, seeds, potting soil, plants, trees, gloves, tools or other garden related items are gladly accepted.
