The students grew several plants in their home garden over a period of 2 weeks, including kale, radishes, sweet potatoes, and pineapple. They followed specific procedures for planting and caring for each plant. Now, they are donating the plants and small pineapple plants to families in their community to encourage healthy eating and caring for the land.
