GSEM Silver Award Project Catalog

Generosity Garden

Project Details: As a way to make vegetables and other fresh produce more accessible, Troop 1865 worked together to build, grow, and maintain a garden to earn their Girl Scout Silver Award. The Girl Scouts searched for the most affordable options and worked on planning out the logistics for how they would construct the neglected garden at their school. Once constructed, the Girl Scouts visited many local businesses and asked for donations of seeds and plants. The troop then worked to grow vegetables, and once they had fully-grown produce, they teamed with Circle of Concern to provide healthy food to those in need.

Issue: Not everyone has access to clean and healthy foods such as vegetables. Root Cause: Vegetables and healthy foods can be very expensive. Target Audience: Members of the local community in need of food. Sustainability: Students and staff at the school will maintain the garden.
