Museum School Native Plant Garden

We work in the garden space on Flex Fridays. 

We think these are all the people that have helped so far:

• Dave from CA Frost helped kick start the work in September and his student gave us plants. 

• Mr. Lawton and CAD students make diagrams of our spaces.

• Nicole Johnson is writing a book about Michigan Plants. She came as a guest speaker and we went outside to see other neighborhood gardens.

• Jessica Vander Ark helped us get permission from GRPS facilities.

• Mira's mom gave us plants from her yard!

• We dug up the sod, dog poop and trash and initial native species. 

• The City of GR Yard Waste gave us free compost!

• We visited Calvin College and toured their garden and green house. They gave us more plants!

• Marty from Wild Ones came to our school to help us identify plants and space them well. 

• Kate is working on her senior project and wrote a Groundswell Grant! She wants to build a "Little Free Library" for the space and buy a pet waste disposal station.
