Here's what we accomplished this week at the last two events that the next event will pick up after:
Here's what we accomplished this week at the last two events that the next event will pick up after:
We planted 20/60 species-specific, California native plants that I purchased from Watershed Nursery in Richmond.
We had to roll 'n' chip at the Friday event, so that's why we didn't get to planting the other 40,
which the group next week will start with.
I ordered and added the same metal tags Sarah Beaver used for the milkweed, because they are holding up well!
This way we can better track which species of plants are surviving and thriving to double down on planting them.
Here's where we planted the 20 we did get into the ground:
Mathew is watering here using the orange buckets he put 2 holes into on the bottom.
You can see I also picked up 4 bags of Cactus & Succulent Soil to backfill new plants,
but they gave me hella splinters so watch out! 😵
We also rolled 'n' chipped this area on the other side of the sunflowers.
The Googlers had a lot of guidance on how to chip around our plants from Benny, Mathew, and Heidi so don't worry!
I'll share more about this month's events in the next video update! 🎥
Thank you so much for helping me save our burrowing owls and migratory monarch butterflies!
It's been the best birthday week I've had in a long time! 🙇🏽♀️🦉🦋
