Butler Catholic students cultivate their garden
Bulb plants like tulips are some of the first to bloom in the spring, providing the first bits of nectar to pollinators in the new year.
On Wednesday, Nov. 2, students at Butler Catholic School planted tulips in the school’s garden area, which they will tend in preparation for the spring season.
Kathy Dudley, director of development for Butler Catholic, said the school has had gardening programs since 2018, and the students have taken an interest, especially in the yielded products.
“It’s neat to see the kids get excited about vegetables because they grew them,” Dudley said. “They love getting to plant the things they will be able to eat.”
