I'm coming out of perennial lurkdom to ask for help :} We are working on a
Nature Walk/Garden for our elementary and each class has picked themes that
fit in with their curriculum(sp?) such as 2nd Grade raises butterflies so
they have a butterfly garden. The 3rd Grade wants a rock garden since they
study rocks and soil. I need suggestions for plants that would fit in with
such a theme but would survive 150 3rd graders, clay soil, either drought or
drench, full sun, humidity, AND be interesting kids. Not asking for much am
I<G>. We will be amending the soil and we do try to water but during the
summer months it can be difficult to keep maintained. The site location is
still open but we are looking at a sloped area next to the gym that would be
easy to "terrace" with rock...anything in this location would improve the
site. I do have some ideas and have found tons of info on rock gardens but
thought I would ask for suggestions from the pros!
