About the Project

The project is designed to support student teams in creating a sustainable community garden, a greenhouse-aquaponics-hydroponics, composting space at Western High School. With the grant, students will collaborate in teams led by their own peers to design, construct, and oversee the growth of the greenhouse into a common space for hands-on, project-based learning. Students will gain valuable skills in leadership and communication, while developing a growth mindset by engaging with their peers in the iterative design process. As a school, we are eager to utilize this space to give back to the community through food banks and collaboration with local primary schools.
