Building an Organic School Garden with the Roots & Shoots Formula

0

Spring has sprung and now it’s time to start planting our gardens. With the help of the Roots & Shoots 4-Step Formula, Sacred Heart Elementary School built and planted a sustainable organic garden. This project is part of the Growing Together campaign for Roots & Shoots 25th anniversary, in which Roots & Shoots members around the world are encouraged to go out and plant something. Watch U.S. National Youth Leadership Council member Olivia Colombo’s video of the Roots & Shoots Formula applied to her garden project.
