My name is Jess! I have a passion for learning, especially about the environments around me— from the buildings and birds to people and history. I am a recent graduate from YSE, where I earned my master’s in Environmental Management with a focus on ecosystem conservation. I like to forage, swim, and go birding and play music.
The group panted remaining hostas, and five echinaceas from Pardee Greenhouse. They continued weeding the path, and did some watering while hoping for rain!
We planted three ninebark shrubs in the compost corner. There was so much ivy we wodnered if it choked the dead Spirea we were replacing with the ninebark. We watered and spread mulch, and continued to remove the dead leaves from spring bulbs. It was a very productive session.
We cleared bittersweet and multiflora rose off of a dogwood in the park. This poor tree was absolutely blanketed in these aggressive, spreading species. We are looking forward to pruning, mulching, and planting under the sweet tree now that all the vines are removed.
