TPS Open Spaces: Share Your Ideas for Lisa's Pollinator Garden

For TEACHERS, PARENTS and STUDENTS: Your input will be used to design Lisa's Pollinator Garden in the upcoming months. Feel free to contact Karen Pellegrini, Karenpellegrini1@gmail.com or Dot Odgren dotaol@aol.com for further information.

The TPS Butterfly Garden was created in memory of kindergarten teacher, Lisa Beaupre, who loved her students and butterflies. This spring the garden is being relocated to the west side of TPS. Many of the same native plants that sustain butterflies also help other pollinators to thrive. We encourage everyone to help create, enjoy, and maintain the garden.

Please share your ideas about the garden and where you might like to help! We will send the results of the survey to you. We look forward to your responses!
