Butterfly Garden
Introduction: The Butterfly Garden
Vision: Let Colour Flutter By Our Cocoon
Mission: A Colourful and Green Space for All
Our Goals
To create a colourful and green space for staff and students alike to learn about and enjoy nature
To increase awareness of green spaces in RGS
To protect butterflies, bees and other pollinators: These species, while vulnerable, are essential in the reproduction of many flowering plants! They preserve the genetic diversity of our garden by allowing natural selection to continue to take place.
Our Ethos: Sustainability
“Living with the earth”: Our plants are carefully selected for their synergy and their ability to attract butterflies in the long run. Instead of chemicals, we use compost and bone meal as fertiliser.
Recycling: The centrepiece of our garden is an upcycled work of art, made up of recycled bottle caps. We would like to thank the Design and Technology teachers for their help in making this possible.
