The Problem
Florida has the largest percentage of invasive plants and wildlife.

By creating a butterfly garden with native plants this will help the environment, native wildlife and help pollinators and their migrating journeys.
It went good in the beginning but due to no shade area our pollinator garden did not survive. However, we will try again in a shade area with a sprinkler.
We learned on the importance of taking care of a garden and the importance of balancing the water intake each seed needs and shade.
We will try to change the area of the garden or implement a type of shade that will benefit in the future.
Our favorite part of this project was more for me and seeing my students watering the plants and being able to see hands on experience from planting the seeds in the soil to seeing some of the plants grow.
Always make sure to time wisely on watering the plants, providing shade, and learning on the importance of native plants in the US and Florida.
