Project snapshot

School Garden Team: The project will transform two primary school front areas into welcoming, low‑maintenance green spaces that enhance curb appeal, support informal learning, and strengthen school–neighborhood ties. Interventions include a permeable pathway to protect beds, targeted perennial and bulb plantings with mulch, and volunteer-led installation and maintenance workflows. Outcomes: improved visual entrance, accessible green space for students, increased community stewardship, and a durable, maintainable landscape demonstrating institutional pride.
