El Morro Water Heroes

Here's what the Garden Club was up to this week...

In the Garden:

• The Garden Club students helped revive the Native Plant garden at the front of the school by adding additional native and water-wise plants.
• The students each received a Garden Journal to use as they desire. Suggestions were to draw what they see in the garden and/or write about what it looks like.
• We laid down weed barrier and cardboard in between the garden boxes to kill the crabgrass.
• Filled the bird feeders, painted the bird bath.

Activity Time:

• The students painted garden signs to identify the native plants we added to the garden.
• We had a guest speaker from the Laguna Beach County Water District attend Garden Club and give kids tips about how to conserve water.
• The students painted a rain barrel that will be kept on campus to catch some of that free water from the sky!
