The S e Step eps…

Allow for 1 1 to 1. 1.5 5 years prior to implementation* Basic Steps:

  • Form team and partners
  • Solicit input from school community

for irrigation installation

  • Write grant proposals
  • Fundraise
slide-28
SLIDE 28

The S e Step eps…

Once funding is awarded:

  • Refine plant list based on availability and order plants
  • Remove any existing sod
  • Install hardscaping such as boulders and seating – hire a

professional.

  • Add topsoil if needed
  • Install irrigation – If you are working with the Boise School

District, the irrigation must be installed by them, not a contractor.

  • Plant (ideal times are either April/May or September/October)
  • Protect plantings with temporary fencing
  • Develop interpretive signs
