This is (very) cool because it will expose adolescents to a variety of concepts, perspectives, and phenomena that are severely lacking from most urbanized places.

I'll be documenting this project such that this sorta endeavor is more easily replicable at other secondary schools. Spreading the word would be awesome.
If you're able willing to donate, it would be well appreciated. We are totally unfunded at this point: minor expenses thus far have been covered out of pocket by the organizers (schoolteachers and gardeners). But we will need need flora, irrigation equipment, and building materials in the near future... I've put a WePay link on the blog.
You can find my email through my profile if you have any questions.
If you're talking about packaging informational materials, that's an interesting idea, as I've been developing much of the design and theory on a voluntary basis. I don't see this as a commercial project, but Kickstarter funding might be appropriate.
Interested to hear what you think such a kit would include?
Regardless, I'll be documenting the project at http://growquad.tumblr.com/
Thank you for the site; I'll be following along!
