👉 The Roses Project is an innovative educational initiative launched by the nonprofit organization Teach for America in 2010. Its primary goal is to inspire students to pursue careers in the arts, particularly in music and visual arts, by transforming school gardens into vibrant, interactive art spaces. Each garden is designed to be a living classroom, where students can engage in hands-on learning experiences that blend art with science and technology. The project features a series of modular, plantable garden beds, each labeled with an artist’s name and a specific artistic theme, such as "Roses" or "Water." By integrating art into the curriculum, Roses Project aims to foster creativity, critical thinking, and a deeper appreciation for the arts among students, ultimately encouraging them to see themselves as future artists and innovators.
