🌳 From planting a backyard garden to playing on a lawn, we know that young people’s hands-on connections with nature matter. But many students today spend very little time outside. Because the outdoors can’t be experienced on a screen or in a textbook, Tampa Bay Watch is stepping up. In their Bay Grasses in Classes program, students are trading their desks for the waters of Maximo Park to install a living shoreline. 🌾 🌊 Through our partnership with Tampa Bay Watch, The Scotts Miracle-Gro Foundation is helping to cultivate the next generation that will champion a healthier planet. 🌎 👇 Discover more about this incredible mission at the link in the comments.
