It's been a while since we've posted an update to the garden, but there has been a lot of activity since then!
As you can see from the pictures there has been significant work done in weeding and straightening up the site. It looks a lot better.
The rains this summer brought lots of weeds, but also growth of the native plants.
The sun has dry rotted some of our irrigation tubing, so leaks have sprung up in places. We've fixed the leaks and done a bunch of weeding and clean up since leaks encourage their growth, too.
On Saturday October 15th, we will be having a work party of volunteers to install the new native plant signs. The signs will have the common name, scientific name, and a QR code for visitors to scan to learn more about the plants. The new sign design was a collaboration between ESIA, BLM, and UC Master Gardeners of Inyo and Mono counties. ESIA has graciously provided the signs for the garden.
Be sure to check out the new signs on your next visit!
