Butterfly Garden
Transcript: Soil: Cleaning Up! Spring: Location & Why? We are going to plant our butterfly garden next to the outdoor classroom. This way when the classes go to the outside class room they can visit the garden and observe the butterflies. Marley, Avery, Tasha The soil we are going to purchase comes in 1 cubic foot and we are going to buy 15 bags, to cover our 6x6 garden at 4in tall. The soil total cost of the soil will be $45.00 at $3.00 a bag. We are going to purchase 20 Buddleia Bushes, and 400 Cosmos seeds. It is $4.09 per plant for the Buddleia Bushes so in total, $81.00. Then, 400 Cosmo seeds in total going to be $8.00. For all of the Summer flowers it is going to be $89.00. Problem: Maintenance Plan: To solve this issue we are going to plant a butterfly garden, to attract many different species of insects and specifically butterflies. We plan to maintain the garden, when we go out to the outdoor class room, or make a class based on maintenance of the pond, and have our butterfly garden included into the lesson plan. Butterfly Garden Bricks: The Build! Plants: Solution: We are going to plant fall, summer and spring flowers so that the butterflies will always have food, in all seasons. In total the flowers will cost $120.00. We are going to be purchasing seeds to plant instead of the actual plants. Summer: Butterfly Garden Budget: For fall we are going to be purchasing 40 Lantana seeds at $12.00. As well as, 1,000 Aster seeds at $7.00. So in total we will be spending $19.00. There is an issue with diversity of species in the pond and around the pond, there isn't enough diversity. I have not seen very many visually appleaing flowers or any butterflies around the pond, any of the numerous times that we have been out there. Fall: We are going to purchase multiple types of butterflies to introduce into our garden. We are going to purchase 12 Painted Ladies for $66.00, 12 Cabbage Whites for $30.00, and 12 Monarchs for $90.00. In total we will spend $185 on the butterflies we will introduce. Flowers: $120.00 Soil: $45.00 Bricks: $57.00 Butterflies: $185.00 TOTAL: $407.00 We purchased plants, to plant and we are going to put landscaping bricks around our garden to keep people from stepping on it, and after all the plants have bloomed, we are going to release butterflies into the enviornment. We are going to put landscaping bricks around the garden because we don't want people stepping on our garden. We are going to buy 30 bricks to put around our 6x6 garden. The total cost will be $57.00 with each brick at $2.00 a brick. We are going to mow, pull up the weeds so they will not grow back and interfere with our plants and we will till the ground before placing the soil. For Spring we will be purchasing 60 Asclepia seeds. The seeds will be $10.00 in total. Those are the only flowers we will be purchasing for spring because the abuddleia Bushes will as well bloom in the Spring as Summer. Butterflies:
