Personal Finance/ Life Skills - Landscaping!

Post by Adam Richards »

Meg, Madie, and Mr. Richards have composed the following:

The BICS students in personal finance class have been given the assignment of beautification of a landscape (for a life skills unit). They are in a few groups doing different areas around the school. They are trying to make it as cheap or free as possible. Each group picked out different flowers and plants to landscape with. The students would like to see if any community members have any of the following that they would be willing to donate. Any plants people are willing to thin out or any extras people are willing to give them would be so appreciated! (suggested list below) If you have some perennials you would be willing to donate, please contact Adam Richards at either 448.2744 (school), 448.2067 (home), or adamr@beaverisland.k12.mi.us

Here is a following list of plants (or those similar to them) the kids are looking for currently - in whatever quantities you may have them (the whole gift horse and mouth thing):

Daffodils
Peonies
Hydrangea
Primrose
Weigela
Phlox
Black eyes Susan's
Pansies
Rose Mary
Butterfly weed
Purple cone flower
Day lily
Larkspur
Blue hyacinth
Muscari
Zinnia
Blue gentian
Roses

Thank you for your help!
