Student Council preserves ‘secret garden’
Over the past year and a half, Student Council has been working on preserving a garden the school has left long forgotten. The Energy and Environment committee has turned over a new leaf, making sure the garden it is filled with new plants that can be easily taken care of so the garden doesn’t become as neglected as it used to be.
Senior Molly Burke has been leading the project since the beginning and is making sure the garden thrives after she graduates.
“I would like for the classes to be able to go out and sit in the garden even after I’m gone,” Burke said. “We’ve even gotten plants that can adapt to the weather so that when we’re away on breaks they can survive without constant attention.”
A lot of hard work has been put into the garden, replacing dead plants and keeping healthy ones alive and even decorating the garden by using recycled tires.
“We basically ripped out every plant in the garden last year,” Burke said. “We spent a lot of time planting new ones in their place. This year we’ve focused on decorating the garden more and are actually hoping on painting a mural on the upper wall.”
Student Council has been putting in a lot of work to fix and maintain the garden in hopes of creating a more enjoyable learning environment.
