Win an Epic Indoor Tower Garden for Your Classroom

We’re excited to share a special opportunity for classrooms to get involved in gardening, thanks to our partnership with Green Bronx Machine. This organization has long been dedicated to helping communities grow healthy food while fostering student learning, and we’re proud to collaborate with them on this exciting giveaway.

We’ve previously highlighted the impact of Green Bronx Machine’s work, and now, through this giveaway, we’ll reach even more classrooms. Research shows that gardening can improve student engagement, attendance, and even test scores (check out our recent article on these benefits), and this giveaway is an incredible opportunity to start a garden program at your school.
