BHS students installing their native plant garden

By Audrey Brenhouse

On Saturday, May 13, the Belmont High School Climate Action Club, with the help of adult and student volunteers, planted our long-anticipated native garden in front of the school. Our  goal is to grow plants native to this area to promote and support native wildlife, helping to restore the land’s natural biodiversity. In the spring of 2022, we held a student-led concert where many families kindly donated to this process. After years of approvals and fundraising, we are proud and grateful to be able to display the result of your generosity. 

Over the next few years, these plants will grow and reproduce, making this patch of land flourish with a thriving ecosystem. Stop by the front of the school to see the variety of promising sprouts, including Jacob’s ladder, golden Alexanders, wild bergamot, and much more!
