Environmental Club students |

We met one evening to start prepping the land for the project. Luckily, my PTA (program and training assistant) had arrived for a site visit and got to see me in action (great success!).
A few days later, we all met again to start planting. We planted two sets of hedges, ten fruit trees, ground covering, two ornamental trees, and some bushes. I do not have pictures yet of the work day, but here is the finished project:
A week later, Abby (an urban agriculture volunteer) visited the school to teach the students how to make a tree nursery. The students then helped to fill fifty tree sacks which were later sowed with shade tree seeds.
Overall, I consider this project a great success and hope to continue working with this school with future projects.
Hey Laura!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a pretty amazing project! I hope some day to also have a project completed. LOL
