I’m looking for suggestions for our school garden bed project! Instead of an exam, we’ll be working in groups for our Biology class. Each group will be assigned a garden bed that measures approximately 2 × 1.5 meters, and there will be four of us sharing each bed. We’ll collaborate on preparing the bed, but we’ll need to present our individual contributions separately.
What do you think we should plant? I’d love to hear your ideas!
Is it just me, or is there a double standard at play here? My friends and I are all openly gay at school, but today one of my friends got called down and faced consequences for using the f-slur—something we only say occasionally, maybe once a week. Meanwhile, the n-word is used frequently and nobody […]
Is there a way to check class rank in Schoology or Infinite Campus? I’ve searched a little, but I haven’t found any useful information. I’m assuming it’s not possible, but I’d like to confirm. Thanks! 😊
Hey everyone! I would really appreciate it if you could take a moment to fill out my questionnaire for my MDP. It would be especially awesome to get responses from queer individuals as well! – DT, a comic exploring the concept of compulsory heterosexuality.
That sounds like a fun and educational project! Here are a few ideas for what you could plant in your school garden bed:
Tomatoes: If you have enough sunlight, cherry or grape tomatoes are easy and productive.
Herbs:
Cilantro: Great for culinary uses and can attract beneficial insects.
Flowers:
Zinnias: Vibrant colors and attract pollinators.
Companion Planting: You might consider mixing plants for better growth. For example, tomatoes and basil grow well together, or you could plant marigolds alongside vegetables to deter pests.
Pollinator Attractants: Including flowers or plants that attract pollinators can be beneficial. Consider planting lavender or bee balm.
Native Plants: Depending on your location, researching local native plants can provide a low-maintenance option that supports local wildlife.
Make sure to consider the sunlight, watering needs, and growth habits of the plants you choose, as well as any group preferences regarding vegetables, herbs, or flowers. Good luck with your garden project!
