We didn’t quite finish up and need a few more hands to finish planting native plant plugs in the wetter area of the slope. All plants that will be installed are of local ecotype and are grown by LERN and Mouton Hot Natives.

Once established, these meadows will provide lots of year-round beauty and interest for church members and visitors as well as much needed habitat for the local wildlife. These meadows will improve the local environment by reducing air pollution (less mowing), improving water infiltration and reducing water runoff and soil erosion. A win-win by all measures!

Dress comfortably and in clothes that you are prepared to get dirty in. Many tools will be provided, but bring your favorite hand trowel and trenching shovel if you’ve got them along with your favorite well-fitting gloves. Water will be provided but please bring your own bottle to reduce waste.
