Fertilizers

• Fish emulsion is a good fertilizer, mainly
  because it contains the three main minerals that
  help plants grow successfully. And they are
• Nitrogen,
• Phosphorus,
• Potassium,

The Life of a Butterfly

• The life cycle of a butterfly mainly consists of
  five main stages, the egg, the smaller larva, the
  grown caterpillar, the pupa, and finally the
  fully grown butterfly, which allows the cycle
  repeat. To have a succesful butterfly garden, you
  are going to need several types of plants, which
  include most nectar producing plants. There is
  absolutely no need for chemical pesticides.

Organic Gardening

• Organic gardening basically means that you only
  use biodegradable material inside of the soil
  that you plant in. This eliminates the need for
  chemicals.

Plants of Different Seasons

• The plants that we grow in the garden now are not
  always able to grow during the entire year. Some
  plants can only grow in the Spring, Fall, and
  etc. In the Spring some examples include
• Tomatoes
• Beans
• Okra
• Peppers
• Cucumbers
• And in the Fall
• Spinach
• Chard
• Turnips
• Brussels Sprouts
• Cauliflower

Geographic Gardens

• To have a geographic garden means to have a
  garden that grows a regional crop, usually for
  profit.
• Cotton, peanuts and sorghum are all geographical
  crops that we have grown in our garden.

7
Compost Piles

• We use our compost pile to decompose weeds that
  we pull from our garden. After they have entirely
  decomposed, the plants turn into fine mixture of
  dirt, which is exceptionally full of nutrients,
  and helps the plants grow their best.

Discovery and Community Gardens

• In the Summer, our Discovery Garden makes a
  change to a Community Garden. This happens so we
  can share the garden with everybody that wants to
  use it. As soon as the schools are done with
  their harvests, the garden becomes open to
  everyone who wants to use it.

Conclusion

• Personally, the Discovery Garden has taught me
  many things, but most of all, it has taught me
  many skills related to gardening.
