In the 2015-2016 school year, we look forward to expanding the garden it even further to include a native plant garden. Over the years, students have been planning for a native plant garden on site. They have generated excitement about the project and are preparing to develop the garden space during the next school year. The River Otter classes, 5th-6th grade, will be exploring the importance of native plant restoration, as well as studying native plant habitats, as well as undergoing a rigorous mapping process of the future site. These studies and preparation will culminate in student design of the garden and building it during garden classes and Friday Field Studies days. We look forward to the help of parents, the school, local nurseries, and GreenSleeves Landscaping to complete this project.
