It has a ramp and raised planting beds to provide easy access. A patio and stepping stones form a smooth path around the garden. The garden will be used for scientific research and to assist with problem solving activities by the students. Using the garden area, students will not only learn about the ecosystem of a marsh environment, but also learn the importance of protecting our environment and keeping it clean. The botanical garden can also be used in a number of other curriculum areas.
Art classes can sketch and paint various scenes and English classes can write about the environment.
The area can also be used as a place to relax, read, or study. With the assistance of many people and area businesses, the dream of a science teacher has become a reality. Mrs. Grubb is responsible for developing the idea of a botanical garden. She believed in the idea and constantly worked towards her goal, always encouraging everyone else who was involved. Even now the W.W. Lewis Botanical Garden is not considered to be complete.
