Here is how the project went:

It went well! We got to use the water around our school moat to plant various species of saplings in our Tiny Forest.

Through this project I/we learned:

We learned to use water around our moat for watering, instead of using hose water which may be chemical filled and waste fresh water. We also learned how to plant saplings, and to make an outdoor educational space.

What I/we might change:

We would maybe plan how many saplings each person plants, and where they plant it so it would be more efficient and organzied.

My/our favorite part of this project was:

It was planting trees and working with others to do so!

Some tips, tricks or fun facts about the project:

If you are near a natural water soruce, use that water instead of eg. the hose!
