Spring color on LHS Campus

Daffodils, Tulips, Daisies, Rosemary, Johnny-Jump-ups. AP Environmental Science students took on the project of re-planting existing pots on campus, as well as adding an additional big pot of spring color.

This seems like a simple project, but in reality it was a study in coordination. To complete this project, students coordinated with the principal, with another teacher whose students planted bulbs, and with the local nursery.

The campus environment seemed dismal with pots devoid of any plants, other than a few weeds. APES students recognized a need to improve campus pride by improving our local environment. Permission was gained to make changes with the ignored pots.

The teacher who planted bulbs with her students agreed to share the pots with the APES students and we can help each other out with watering.

Through Rotary connections with Interact Club, an appointment was made at Alden Lane to plan out plantings, soil amendments, and watering schedule. We were fortunate to receive so much help at Alden Lane.

The Pots were replanted, and have been regularly watered.
Terrific outcome!

The spring color will continue for weeks to come, while the Rosemary will grow through the summer. Bulbs will return next spring.
