Michigan Natural Playground #873475

Asked June 17, 2024, 3:17 PM EDT

Hello, I would love to be able to connect with someone who could help with planning a walking garden on our natural playground. Tri County Head Start just purchased a school building in Millburg with amazing outdoor space and opportunities. We plan to create a natural playground that is an extension of the classroom. One of our projects includes creating a garden space. Our goals are; kids could safely walk through it and still be seen/monitored by the teachers, it would include Michigan native plants and flowers, students could help care for the garden but overall, it would be low maintenance.
