  15. P O T E N T I A L P L A N T S A N D P L A N S The next slides will show you what plants we would like to put out in the courtyard and why we chose these plants

  16. G O L D E N J U N I P E R • We picked this plant because it has a yellowish tint to it as one of our school colors is yellow. • It is a hardy evergreen and needs to be spaced at a minimum of 5 feet apart. It grows 5 feet by 5 feet

  17. B L U E O A T G R A S S • We picked this plant because it has a nice bluish tint. Matching our other school color. • Low maintenance • Need to be spaced to be at least 24 inches apart and can grow to be 18-30 inches tall

  18. W H I T E C O L O R G U A R D Y U C C A • They are partly yellow but would also add a much needed green touch. It also blooms with a nice white flower • Drought Resistant • Need to be spaced apart by 2 feet

  19. B L U E H O S T A • This plant is easy to grow and they prefer shady areas • Can grow to be 30 inches high and 24 inches wide

  20. Y E L L O W C A N A L I L L I E ’ S • They are yellow and low maintenance • They can grow to be 1 to 8 feet tall and 3 feet wide • Best of all they are free - we have some already planted out in the court yard and they are making an unlimited supply of bulbs that we can use to grow more

  21. This is our landscaping Design plan

  22. “ S T A G E " C O N S T R U C T I O N • Options considered: • 1. Pavers: • Pro: We can relocate them as needed, Very durable • Con: Cost • 2. Sod: • Pro: Cheap in the short term • Con: Regular maintenance and irrigation needs • 3. Gravel: • Pro: Cheap, Fairly Durable • Con: Can shift into unwanted areas, or be thrown around
