On February 16, our school,Jacksonville, FL Junior High School invited some local children to be our “planting partners” on the Breaking Ground Contracting green roof in Jacksonville, FL. Nine children joined us to plant some native wildflowers, pick some fruits and vegetables and learn how to grow beautiful native plants. The kids were kind. They let their parents and grandparents join us, too. They helped the children pick. 

We all had a great time. And we were so excited that the Breaking Ground green roof was the first experience for all of the kids and their parents and grandparents. 

Through this experience, children learned a lot about nature. They also learned that the plants are good for our environment. They also have a chance to spend with their parents and grandparents. It was really a wonderful experience.
