MIddle School Students Design Butterfly Garden

At Preserve Day earlier this fall, we employed Middle School student ideas for a redesign of the Butterfly Garden in The Preserve At Germantown Academy. While the final effort looks more like an amalgam of the best ideas from lots of designs, there were many interesting individual designs.

Families and Friends Gather at Annual Preserve Day Celebration

Nature Program and The Parent’s Committee of Germantown Academy welcomed visitors to their annual Preserve Day celebration designed to acquaint the community with the splendor of GA’s campus and our rich variety of outdoor spaces.  There were many creative and fun events planned cat-tailing and restoration of the butterfly garden, to sitting around a campfire and making a s’mores.  Art Across the Academy hosted a miniature bridge building activity modeled after actual foot bridges made by uppers school sculpture students.  for Visitors also sampled GA’s home grown salsa in the Academic Courtyard Garden, rode the Zip Line at our new Adventure Course and made beeswax candles on our green roof. Lower, middle, and upper school Green Ambassadors were on hand to help tour visitors through our outdoor spaces, and patriot Ambassadors manned information kiosks to help guests plan their day.
