My wish for this project? Have more beautiful, drought resistant plants around the concrete dominated school in which I work. The kids in my school's urban neighborhood should have something more substantial than sandpits dotted with sad-looking plants.
We will plant! I plan on researching drought-resistant, hardy plants to put in the high traffic areas. Also, we will need to add some mulch and nutrient-rich soil to replace the sandy soil that's there now. Lastly, we'll add some sort of temporary barier so the plants can get some much-needed time to grow and prosper. This will take place during our annual school beautification day with students and parents from kindergarten to grade 6 volunteering.
