Plant Materials Needed

Hello,
Mrs. Brathwaite and I will soon be starting a Gardening Club. Our short term goal is to beautify the front of the school. We are asking people from the Clairlea community to kindly donate perennials. The front of the school is south-facing and soaks up a lot of sun. For this reason, we are looking for drought-tolerant plants that could withstand the weather and limited watering in the summer. Native plants, including grasses would be ideal, although we'd be grateful for any contribution, including soil and mulch.

If you are able to donate, please either send a note with your child to the attention of Mrs. Brathwaite or Ms. Hawkins. You could also leave your name and a way to contact you in the comment section below.

On a related note, I am looking for avocado seeds for a Green Team project. The kids have been busy with the recycling bins, but now that the weather is better, I'd love for them to be growing plants from seed and taking on other projects in the school.
Please send in your avocado seeds with your child to the attention of Ms. Hawkins. Thanks a bunch.
