Garden!

Sunday, March 13

Today was an awesome day.  We met a new guy, David, who volunteers for PaR.  He showed su a shed full of old garden tools and we brought them all over to a closed-off native plant rehabilitation area.  The native plant area was begun five years ago and it slowly expanded from there.  Now it's a large, roped-off section in the middle of a large area.  When we go into it, I can finally see what the park might have looked like with all native species.  It smells amazing, and there are beautiful desert and plains plants all over.  It looks so wild.

Our job today was to expand the area outward a couple feet.  We cleared an area about 10 feet long by two feet wide of invasive plants (which was hard work), planted some native plants, and mulched the rest of the cleared area.  Then David moved the rope fence outward to close the area we had started restoring.  I was really proud of our work for the day.
