Cone flowers and hyssop for the
Butterfly Garden

There are several new plants planted around the outdoor classroom, butterfly garden, and vegetable garden for the fall. In the Outdoor Classroom: hyssop, asters, daisies, Russian sage, and sedum. In the Butterfly Garden: white and purple cone flowers and hyssop. And finally the Vegetable Garden: herbs--thyme, basil, lemon balm, marjoram; and Winter vegetables--collard greens, red cabbage, and kale.

Vegetable Garden

The beautiful new plantings are all thanks to Troop 304 Junior Girl Scouts, who are Terraset, Armstrong, Foxmill, and Hunterwoods 5th graders. The girls determined where each plant should go based on its needs, then they prepared the space by digging out a hole, making sure it had plenty of organic garden soil, and then planted and watered each plant. “How wonderful!” Ms Trout exclaimed on hearing the news. “I can't tell you how much this means to us.”

A huge thank you to Troop 304 for their thoughtfulness and generosity. “We will take good care of the plants!” Ms Trout promised.

Please take a moment to go admire the results of the girls' hard work! The weather is perfect for roaming around the gardens.
