Our New Native garden

Thanks to the efforts of Mag M, the Warriors group and a number of grade 7's , our new garden has been established in the area near 1V. a number of trees had been removed due to their roots and branches causing damage to the school building. It was decided that the rest of the vegetation, mainly plants considered pests would be removed, topsoil added, then mulched.
A number of Mary MacKillop bottle brushes are to be planted, along with a variety of ground covering natives. It is hoped that with the continued care from students the area will thrive and provide shelter for the many water dragons that once called the area home.
