The Prairie at the Academy



Our JH prairie is becoming a beautiful place that has various colors and is just a great addition to our classroom. Unlike many schools, we have many indigenous plants that are very well equipped to the unique climate of Indiana. The use of these native plants helps us learn about our natural surroundings as well as habitat restoration. This helps create a self-sustaining and low maintenance place that is good for our environment. Our prairie was established by the 2004 class and now, many flowers are blooming. One of the most recognizable blossoms are the Blue Indigo which have been used by native Americans.
