Begining+a+Butterfly+Garden



Craig Lack and Cheryl Wlliams have been working on our butterfly garden. They did the grant applications through "Grow a Great School". They ordered the plants we needed. It took 15 hours to build it. We are going to call it Yultiwirra Native Garden.

__The Process__

First we had to figure out how much money it cost and if you would like to know it was about $2800 we got $1000 from the govnment but the rest we had to pay ourselves. second Craig had to draw up a plan of what the garden was going to look like and what materials we needed. We used mulch, habitat features and saw dust. Then Cheryl used the Grant Applicatoin online and payed for it all. But of course we didn't do it all by ourselves we had a little help. Luke Howe and we call this guy bobcat man. They all helped us build it.

There are not just going to be butterflies all the plants and trees will atract other animals to. Like moths, bugs ( the good ones), lizards, snails, all lots of other plants and animals. To get all those creatures we have to plant not just one plant but 400 plants so if one dies we can make sure that we can rely on the other plants. And if you were wondering each plant cost about $2.

Some of the teachers that helped were Mrs Smith, Mrs Spence. Mrs Molloy, Mrs Forder and Kelly Willioms.
