Rainwater Harvesting Native Garden Design: Choosing Plants
by Brianne Loya
This design challenge was open for any interested students from grades 9-12. Students met afterschool over the course of the second semester. This is the 4th sequence of lessons in a set of 4. This lesson focuses on choosing plants that will best meet the water budget requirements students calculated in previous lesson and topography they designed using rainwater harvesting principles.
