Woodholme Elementary School Garden

We need to transform this space into an edible garden and need help!

My name is Mike Leavey and I am a 4th grade teacher at Woodholme Elementary School in Baltimore County, Maryland.  We are seeking funds to support a new edible garden on the school grounds.

This new venture will serve all of our 785 students, from kindergarten to fifth grade.  Both the teachers and the students are looking forward to all the phases of this new garden.  The garden will serve as a backbone to lessons in health, math, science, social studies and reading for virtually all grades, in addition to being a place where the students learn about how and where food is grown.  

The money will go towards buying fencing materials, soil, wood for raised beds and garden tools.   We have a goal of starting the construction of the fence this spring in order to be ready for a fall garden!

My fellow teachers and I are looking forward to working the garden with the students. It will truly be a community garden and gathering place for all Woodholme families.  

We appreciate all of the support!
