      Developing Our Garden
      We will ask for community involvementand support for our butterfly garden.  We will ask for donations ofseeds, soil, tools, planter-boxes, and most importantly their time. We will ask our staff to help build and paint the planter-boxes accordingto our butterfly theme.  We will need to decide the size and shapeof our planter boxes, which will be dependent upon the location that wechoose.
      We will need principal anddistrict approval of our site.
