Timberview Middle School Students Plant Native!

This Animoto video was created by the Fifth Grade Students

 with the photos taken from our event!

Fifth grade students received donations of native plants and learned how native plants conserve soil and water.  (Some non-native plants were also donated, so in order not to offend anyone, all plants were used - it will be interesting to see how those plants do compaired to the native plants!)

Quote from Mrs. Bass, 5th grade teacher - "We ended up with 80 percent native but students brought the plants so we planted them all...  The vegtables and herbs are ones I have had success with in my own organic garden.  We used cow poo and tried to plant organically also. By planting both flower beds and vegetable gardens the students created a beautiful area, a renewable resource and learned about Texas plant adaptations."
