Gather and Grow Successfully Completes Another Semester Teaching Gardening Education at MLK Jr. Elementary School
As the school year comes to an end, and summer approaches, Gather and Grow celebrates another successful semester and school year at MLK Jr. Elementary School. This is our fourth semester providing STEM and gardening education at this school in South Phoenix. We have been lucky enough to continue our gardening education, thanks to the amazing faculty and staff at MLK.
Our Vision Statement
After a Gather and Grow experience, children will be in touch with the South Phoenix ancestral legacy of gardening. They will possess skills that they can choose to take into the job market, and they will have developed safe and healthy coping mechanisms that will help them when encountering life’s adversities. The experience above will result in producing humans who are driven to be civically engaged and positive contributors to their community and society as a whole.
Call For Volunteers
Gather and Grow cannot create memories and experiences without help from the community. From creating seed packets, fixing a garden bed, or even just sharing a social media post to help spread the word, we need your help!
