HILLCREST ELEMENTARY’S COURTYARD BUTTERFLY GARDEN PROJECT

HILLCREST ELEMENTARY’S COURTYARD BUTTERFLY GARDEN PROJECT

With support from Go Wild School Grants, Hillcrest students and teaching were able to double the size of an existing garden to provide more habitat for butterflies and pollinators. Whether it was removing rocks and weeds, digging and planting, painting the planters, or creating celebration activities,  all 295 students at the school in Salmon Arm, BC, helped to observe and contribute to the entire process.

“It was exciting to see these young people working hard and loving it.”
