Gratitude Garden
The Legacy Continues
Volunteers Needed on March 2nd and 3rd Call 786-521-1199
Two years ago, an organic garden project was begun at the School For The Children in Lake Worth, Florida. The project was turned over to the school and run by the administration and children. They just recently weeded it and planted some new crops but they NEED SUPPORT.
We are taking this opportunity to carry on the legacy. We will build and create the Gratitude Garden, an organic teaching garden demonstrating the beauty of nature as it traces the journey of a seed all the way to the dinner plate. We’ll establish an outreach and education program centered around the garden. We will use the garden to motivate the community to collaborate and educate people on how to organically farm their own food, how to capture and utilize rain water for irrigation, how to remove chemicals from their homes, the powerful effect of water on health, alternative construction techniques and many more exciting workshops. It will be designed to bring funding, education and inspiration to the school and community.
And, finally, we will put in place a program for maintaining the Gratitude Garden and for engaging the community in a broader education effort.
