We have been staring at a 'dirt patch' outside our classroom for a while and wanted to make it look a lot better! Fortunately Ms Ashby came to our rescue! We wanted some low maintenance plants and Ms Ashby had a lot of succulents that she wanted to relocate!
We found out that succulents are sometimes known as the 'fat plant' as they have very thick leaves where
they store water. They can survive in very hot and dry climates for a
long time.
So this afternoon the wonderful Jules worked with a
group of green thumbed members of Room 16 to weed and plant the little
area outside our room. We plan to add more of the succulents we have
and then bark over the dirt to keep the weeds down and to keep it
looking very smart!
Thank you so much Jules - you're a star! And thank you Ms Ashby for your lovely succulents!
