Summary

Despite a late start, volunteers met consistently throughout the end of the summer to maintain their beautiful space. The site boasts a large area of planted areas, which the group stewarded through weeding, mulching, and watering. Community members also filled in the back corner with some perennials and a shrub and planted some black-eyed-Susans around the tree in the middle of the space. Volunteers always arrived on time and ready to work. One individual walked by the group after their first weekend workday and asked about what was going on. After hearing about the project, she became an active volunteer at each subsequent workday.
