The Glenside Villagers have completed our flower bed project and are now much more knowledgeable on the concepts of air pollution.
Overall we were very proud and pleased with our final product. Having to move around 80 plus cement cinder blocks and wheel over about 14 wheelbarrows of dirt defiantly was not any easy task, however, by using the cement cinder blocks will ensure that this project is long lasting. Also, another group could come along later and paint the cement cinder blocks in order to add some design and character to it. It was really great to see how our project and the other glenside group’s project came together. Now, when you look at the shed you see a beautiful design painted on the shed with our flower bed accenting the shed by wrapping around the entire surface.
Air pollution was a topic that most people are familiar with, but when going into greater detail, we were able to learn many new things about air pollution we didn’t previously no. One of the main topics about air pollution that no one in our group was aware of was indoor air pollution. Indoor air pollution completely makes sense when you think about why painters cover their mouth and nose when painting, or why you air out a room by opening door and windows after painting or cleaning. Indoor air pollution can be caused by everyday activities.
We found this project to be very informational as well as a fun hands on activity. It was a great way to develop new knowledge while helping the local environment. We will definitely be going back to see it all complete with flowers blooming in the spring!

I really like the flower boxes that you guys put around that little house. I think all of you have learned a lot from this experience, and I can also tell the true friendship there.
The flowers will look so amazing with the flower bed you guys planted. I thought that was a very good idea because the kids get to do something interactive with the environment.
You guys did great and both of us groups made the shed and walls at school look much better!The sheds looks amazing and the way you guys completed them will last for a very long time!
It’s very significant that you build the flower beds for the kids so that they can actually experience fun and learning at the same time when the weather is getting better. Different kinds of pollution are related to each other, we can taking some action on one to prevent others as well .
