Creating School Gardens

First comes water:

Soil, seeds, sunlight, and water are the four basic ingredients for successful gardens. But sometimes those are not as easy to come by on a school site. In arid climates of the southwest, water can be scarce. The use of rainwater harvesting can increase the sustainability of a school garden as it erases the need for convenient groundwater based faucets, and is easy to install.
Here is a video we made in 2009 of how to install a rainwater harvesting system. Easy!
