Since we decided that our project was gonna be to replant the organic garden we have been able to accomplish a lot.Our 1st step was talking to some members of the USDA. We had some conversations on a possible partnership and they gave us some contact information and data resources that they thought might be helpful. Even though what we wanted was to get them to possibly sponsor the project, their resources and connects have proven to be of great help and both Nidia and I are very glad we got them involved.
Working closely with the Wellness and Environmental club, I have been able to get a group of student that will help make this project come to live. As the vice president of this on campus organization I am for certain that student will want to get involved and see the school become more environmental friendly and have more organic options at our cafeteria that were harvested from this garden.
Nidia and I have been able to talk to Mr. Salas and get him on board as to what we want to see be the final product. Since he is in charge of school operations we thought that it would be in our best interest to have him know what our plans were. Luckily, he was able to bring us one step closer to this goal by sharing with us the addition of a farmer and a new wellness coordinator at our campus. We believe that this new members will help guide us through this process. We also requested some information to the previous garden supervisor and he was able to get us some more information as far what we will be able to plant. He was really excited to see us really into it and we assured him that we would work hard to star and maintain the garden in good conditions.
We also decided that in order to make this possible we will be needing to fundraise. Even though most of the things we want to do won't cost a thing, we still want to have that extra cushion to fall under if anything comes up.
