The Butterfly Garden is a hands-on learning experience where students cultivate a beautiful and vibrant butterfly garden. Through this project, students learn valuable skills in:

  • Horticulture: Planting, watering, fertilizing, and weeding various plants.
  • Environmental Science: Understanding the life cycle of butterflies and the importance of native plants for pollinators.
  • Teamwork and Responsibility: Collaborating with peers to maintain the garden and ensure its success.

The Butterfly Garden not only attracts a diverse array of butterflies but also beautifies the school courtyard, creating a tranquil and inspiring outdoor space for the entire school community.
