Activities

Fall planting season has blown in with the wind and rain, and delivery of about 80 native plants from trees to wildflowers. Help us get these plants into their new home to provide a hidden habitat area for the birds and animals who live here and the community of human neighbors who love to visit them. A brief orientation to the plants and techniques as well as safety precautions provided at the start of the planting party.
