Planter Boxes - North Shoreview
Project Status: Available
Project Overview
Currently, each classroom at the school has its own designated planter box, allowing students to grow and observe their own plants as part of their educational curriculum. In addition to these individual planter boxes, the school intends to enhance the outdoor learning environment by introducing communal planter boxes in an unused blacktop area at the rear of the school, shown in the photo gallery below.
The school requests the construction of three wooden planter boxes to be filled with soil. These communal planter boxes will be maintained by parent volunteers, fostering a sense of community involvement and providing a collaborative gardening experience for the students.
