Our capstone focused on building a sense of community and fostering love and compassion through gardening with students. This project provided hands on learning opportunities in a greenhouse and garden at a local school. Students had an active role in cleaning, organizing, and picking out various plants. They participated in the entire process of growing the plants from seed to transplanting to harvesting. Our project instilled empathy and accountability by promoting sustainably aware citizens.
