New plants replenish Native Garden
Posted by admin on 31 Mar 2011 | Tagged as: Community Native Garden
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.

Thank you to the 35 volunteers who helped at the February 12 Native Garden work party. You dug into it with great spirit, carving out garden paths and planting native salal and ferns. Thanks also to Whole Foods and parent volunteers for providing snacks and hot drinks.
The next step on the way to the Native Garden comeback, funded by a grant from the EMSWCD, is Saturday, March 19 from 9am until noon. Work those biceps and enjoy the company of fellow neighbors!
