    Hi! I am a garden club advisors at our elementary school.

    We are looking to have our garden club (grades 5 & 6) help redesign the landscape beds in the front of our school. We want to focus on native perennials and also leave some room for the annuals (zinnias/cosmos/marigolds) that the kids start from seed over winter. 

    Has anyone done something like this before? Any suggestions on resources or how to best do this with kids?

    We are zone 6b (previously 6a). Full sun, very windy. Compacted, clay soil. 

    Thanks!

    Monica
