The students at Harvey N. Dondero Elementary School are once again ready to grow their favorite fruits and vegetables, along with their understanding of science and nature.
Thanks to community support and a donation from The Home Depot, the Dondero Elementary Student Garden Club rebuilt the school’s garden. Having a garden on campus, the school’s staff aims to promote sustainability, learn about environmental conservation, promote soil health, and provide fresh produce to the community.
This summer, a fire damaged the garden shed and many of the gardening tools. When the school contacted The Home Depot for assistance, the company donated to the school’s Student Garden Program to replace the shed, tools, and everything else damaged.
Volunteers from the company worked alongside students and staff to install all the new equipment and prepare the garden for the fall planting season.
