Students will conduct interviews and surveys with peers, teachers, family members, and local community members to gather diverse perspectives on native plant landscapes, identifying the needs and preferences of those who will engage with the school garden space.

Students will collaboratively develop a mission statement for their landscape design project that clearly defines its ecological goals and community impact, while considering feedback from peers and community partners to refine their vision.

Students will collaborate creatively with peers and community partners to brainstorm landscape design concepts that prioritize native plant usability and visual appeal, incorporating insights gained from empathy work and initial research.

Students will collaboratively develop initial sketches and draft detailed outlines of their landscape design projects, incorporating feedback from peers and community partners to refine ecological and aesthetic features.

Students will conduct focus group sessions with peers and community partners to test their landscape design drafts for ecological functionality and aesthetic appeal, collecting feedback to assess the design's impact and engagement potential within the school community.

Students will engage in structured peer-to-peer feedback sessions to refine their landscape designs by incorporating ecological balance and visual appeal, using critique protocols and insights gained from previous feedback rounds to advance their prototypes for final presentation.

Students will engage in reflective discussions and create visual diaries capturing their personal and collective insights gained from designing a native plant landscape, anticipating how these reflections will inform future projects and decisions.
