Students will be tasked with many responsibilities throughout the duration of this project. Some of these responsibilities will include, setting schedules, updating the group on weather reports, working the land, and managing the equipment. This project will also require every student to perform extensive online research to determine which methods of farming are best for us, what crops have the greatest chance to grow, what tools will we require, and what kind of skills we need to practice. Every student will apply what he or she have learned and be ready to solve any problems we encounter. Also, the students will ultimately decide how we will use this garden to benefit our school.
