Students in the biology club at Irving ISD’s Barbara Cardwell Career Preparatory Center presented 10 families with self-sustaining garden planters as part of a community outreach project. The students wrote a letter requesting funds from Cardwell Principal Deeadra Brown then created the bucket gardens.
The bucket gardens were designed for apartment patios and should be producing vegetables by late summer.
