South Garden Project

 Our first step was clearing all of the leaf litter, giving us room for the ACTUAL plants.

Our next step was unplanned, some of the SBAT crew mulched the garden providing it with some nutrients & weed suppression.

Our last step was to find what plants we could actually use in our garden, which was a minor challenge as they were all donations and required full sun. We also planted five Jasmine Creepers along the fence to the soccer field at the north landing, they should climb up the fence nicely. On the other side, we planted 5 Hebee Inspiration tube stocks, a nice shrub that blooms, purple flowers that can grow up to 1 metre in width and 1.5 metres in height all along the south garden in front of the VM Max offices.

Thanks to another very generous donation from Mr. L'huillier, we were able to strip bamboo stakes, and then we passed them to the SBAT crew, for the next day. They were a great help to them as they were able to protect even more plants for the North Landing Gardens.

Unfortunately, our project didn't boost the school's bio-diversity score as much as we had wanted to, but we did boost it. Planting 10 new plants, suppressing weeds & creating a safer environment for plants and our students.

Our goal with the project was to affect the ground cover field in the biodiversity audit, and we did but it wasnt by much but the garden looks a lot better. We beleive we increased our score by 1 point in the mulch cover field.

Below, is a photo of some vegetables we found while working in the garden.
