GS Magnolia Park Cleanup event? (Girl Scout Troup 41157)
Some Magnolia Girl Scouts have been hard at work. In concurrence with Earth Day on April 22, the 4th graders of troop 41157 kicked off their Gardener Badge.? They visited a local garden, learned about native plants and are experimenting with planting seeds.
In addition, the Carleton Park Garden Club is sponsoring the troop’s Native Plants Badge.??4th graders learned how to identify native trees, shrubs, perennials, ferns, and ground cover realizing the importance of native plants in how they use less water and are better suited for and thrive our gardens.
Girl scouts planted individual peat pots with native wildflower seeds and took them home to water and observe for 2 weeks.? These pots?were then?planted by the red flower sculptures at the Gateway to Magnolia Park last?Wednesday, May 6th, near the practice fields.
Girl Scouts show the native wildflower sprouts they planted from seeds.
The Girl Scouts and representatives of the Carleton Park Garden Club?worked together?on a beautification project by?clearing debris, digging up invasive weeds and planting their peat pots of?native wildflowers.
