Project Overview
We are planting pollinator gardens at participating schools through our Bloom Box program. Bloom Box is a garden in a box pollinator garden; covering 100 sq ft these gardens are perfect for after school clubs and class projects. Through the ELO grant we are able to offer these gardens to schools free of charge. By partnering with the Nebraska Forest Service we are also able to offer Project Learning Tree curriculum training to educators at participating schools.
