2021-2022 Native Plants Garden, Archbishop Jordan Catholic High School, Sherwood Park

High school students in Sherwood Park are working on their green thumbs this year by creating a garden full of native plants. They will be re-purposing part of their outdoor classroom to integrate Alberta perennials, creating a space that not only benefits the students but also increases the biodiversity and resilience of the local ecosystem. All of the students at the school will benefit, from biology students who will take clippings from the plants to examine under a microscope to those who simply visit the space and reap the mental health benefits of nature.
