Butterfly Garden

As the President of the Honor Society Club at my college, one of our impactful projects was creating a Butterfly Garden to provide a safe habitat for monarch butterflies, an endangered species. This required thorough research, careful planning, and collaboration with various stakeholders, including club members, faculty, and campus administration.

Step 1: Brainstorming and Decision Making

I gathered all my officers to brainstorm potential projects and actively listening to their suggestions. Through collaborative discussion and consideration of various ideas, we decided on creating a sanctuary for monarch butterflies and raising awareness about their endangered status.

Step 2: Conducting Research

To prepare for the project, I assigned each officer a specific research task. Such as, one member researched suitable plant species, another focused on the needs of monarch butterflies, and others looked into effective garden maintenance practices.

Step 3: Communication and Active Listening

Before executing the plan, we conducted a final meeting to confirm that all members understood their tasks and responsibilities. We decided on the date and time for the planting day and encouraged feedback, making adjustments based on members' suggestions to improve the plan.

Step 4: Executing the Plan and the Result

On planting day, our team worked seamlessly to bring the Butterfly Garden to life. Each member had a specific role, from planting milkweeds and flowers to setting up signs and educational materials

The Butterfly Garden project was a success, providing a habitat for monarch butterflies and raising awareness about their endangered status. The collaborative effort and teamwork among officers and members achieved our objectives and fostered a sense of community and environmental stewardship.
