This week in Garden Club, our students were able to help plant our new native plant garden in front of the school!

Native plants are especially important because they are particularly suited to support our local ecosystem, including providing food for native pollinators.

Students learned about native plants and then enjoyed planting lots of new plants in the garden. We can't wait to see how beautiful our garden is next Spring!

Huge thank you to the Penn State Master Gardeners and Ms.Kristen from Erie County Conservation District for their help with this project!
