My Project

With this project I plan to give my students more experience with planting. We will be using the pots I'm asking for to make two different arrangments. One will be a mosquito repellent pot and the other will be a pot of wild flowers that attract butterflies and humming birds. I would love for them to be able to take these home at the end of the year and gift them for mothers day to whichever woman in their life they'd like to.

No more mosquitos, hello beautiful butterflies and humming birds.

I love the idea of my class continueing to learn about planting and gardening. With our green house and tower garden we will be able to get started withe these seeds right away.
