The next slides will show you what plants we would like to put out in the courtyard and why we chose these plants

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

• ne 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

B L U E O A T

G R A S S

• We picked this plant

because it has a nice bluish tint. Matching

• ur 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

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

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

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

This is our landscaping Design plan

“ 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
