Problem of Practice: How can we use alternative gardening techniques to provide plants with what they need to grow?
District: Island Park
School: Lincoln Orens Middle School
Facilitator: Frank Morisco
Principal: Dr. Bruce Hoffman
Core Teacher Grade 5: Darlene Morales
This action research project will provide students with some understanding of gardening techniques they might not be familiar with. I will be leading my students through various types of agriculture with a focus on Aeroponic Gardening using the Tower Garden techniques. We will cover the alternatives for providing plants with what they need to grow. One expected outcome is that the students may use what they learned to improve the way they garden at home now, or in the future, or as a career in agriculture.
