Our group is changing the ways of our school garden

We would be:

Making a open day once a month for people to come and see it.

Plant fruit and watch it change once every month and also take photo's of it before,during and after.Then turn it into movie

When the things have grown sell them to people or kids as a fundraiser.

Make a fundraiser to get us started.

This is possibly our inquiry learning project.

Testing the water we are using which will hopefully be clean. we found that it is not filtered and is rain water.
