We finished the book, Seedfolks. It is a short novel about a group of people from all different walks of life who come together in an urban city to garden in a vacant lot. They are each drawn to the garden for their own reasons. With this mindset a project idea was created, find a need at CHS and how can you solve it. Each project had to be small, sustainable, doable and low in cost, with the idea of making CHS a little better, more environmentally friendly or increasing awareness to this community.
Step One: Find a need at school
Step Two: Research, find data, identify the cost and present our ideas first to our class
Here we go...
 |
| The teacher goes first...garden bed covers are made and ready to go! |

 |
| Waste Management for everyone at CHS |
 |
| I'm not presenting first! |
 |
| I'm thinking...of building a bench. |
 |
| Composting...my gram composts I've seen this design used before |
 |
| I've got two ideas... TA garden beds and |
 |
| Bottle Flower Planters |

Step Three: Make our ideas happen...wait and see what happens next!
