The Native Garden is open for business. The Earth Day celebration and Native Garden Re-Opening was a huge success, thanks a host of contributors: music by Tenspiders, food and native plant prizes provided by the Sabin PTA and METRO, Tickle Bee education and activities by Mace Vaughn, other games and organization by the Garden Committee. See more photos at the Gallery page.

Over 240 native pants from Bosky Dell nursery are going into the Sabin Community Native Garden as the final stage of the infrastructure enhancements to the garden. Nine classrooms from Sabin School will are doing the bulk of the planting. Their stewardship will have a lasting effect as the Native Garden takes its place again as an educational resource for the school and an asset to the neighborhood.

Be sure to join us on for live music and more on April 22, 2011 for the grand public re-opening of the Sabin Community Native Garden.  More details to come.

If you dig your community native garden, then help us dig into it on Saturday, February 12 from 10am to 1pm. We’ll be doing big things with the garden infrastructure to get it ready for planting and re-opening in the spring. The ongoing revitalization of the Native Garden is made possible by a grant from the East Multnomah Soil and Water Conservation District. This is your chance to help the Native Garden make its comeback as a beautiful and important asset to the Sabin School and surrounding community. Bring gloves and be prepared to work up an appetite for the snacks we’ll provide!

See you there.
