Olivia Kneebone, a recent honors graduate of Lowcountry Montessori School, is shown installing permanent outdoor signs she designed for the school’s new Educational Bog Garden. She worked with her Ecology teacher, Samantha Campbell, in her Independent Student class to give back to her school community. Campbell financed the project with the help of a mini-grant from the Lowcountry Master Naturalists and sales from the school’s native plant nursery. Wildlife friendly native plants are propagated by elementary students in a unique school garden program. Plants in the Bog Garden are themselves rare, endangered, and unique to our region. Kneebone will be attending Eckerd College in the fall, where she plans to study environmental science. Photos courtesy of Lowcountry Montessori School
