We have a patio garden at EC Reems, the plants that are harvested are given to students, family, community, teachers or whomever is in need of food. Our garden was not being properly taken care of, so our combined 8th grade class decided to take this on as a project. The students were very receptive, we planned everything as a group. We are 90% finish with our project. and our garden now looks AMAZING!!! Thank you 180 for your support. This gardening project was a combined effort of Shakir's and Ilochi's 8th grade class.
