Hardy hastas and dazzling designs

As a gardening club, we nurture the plants in our garden, but we also want to spruce up, care for, and beautify the other plants on our campus! On Tuesday, we weeded and watered our hasta plants, hoping to make them bear more luscious green leaves and purple blossoms. 

Thank you for your hard work, hasta crew! (Faith, Amelia, Will, and Kaydence)

We noticed that fortifying our pepper plants with eggshells really did the trick! We should be able to harvest some later this week. Our latest additions to the garden are two purple Aster flowers, representing our school colors! You will also see a new design with the painted rocks spelling out our school name.

It is a little hard to spot our green letters, but they are easier to see in person, we promise!

Thank you, Erica & Angelina, for painting the rocks!

We have new green bell peppers and banana peppers!

We plucked our basil flowers to keep the herbs fresh.

In the butterfly garden, we spotted a monarch (unfortunately, it was too busy to pose for a picture) and some new lilies. We also worked to rejuvenate our butterfly bush and wild roses. Finally, we decorated the windows with paper butterflies made from the colors that live butterflies are most attracted to! We also threw in a colorful butterfly mobile for good luck.
