The garden includes bug and butterfly-friendly, low maintenance and drought-tolerant native plants, interpretive signage, a seed-disbursing sculpture, and educational opportunities through the Learnery at Sierra 2.
- Sierra 2 project lead, Heather Hogan, wrote the grant, managed the project, organized volunteers, and created marketing and learning materials about the garden.
- Miridae Living Labs, a non-profit that promotes the ecological role of native plants and insects planned the gardens and provided all the materials and plants.
- Studio Tutto created Seed Spires. Compressed earth sculptures that contain a variety of native plant seeds. At nature’s pace, the seeds sprout and grow, bloom and reseed, supporting local pollinators and wildlife.
- Volunteers made it happen over a few work days.
Thank you Volunteers!
We could not have built this garden without your help! In the fall of 2021 we hosted a number of volunteer workdays where neighbors helped
- clear grass, pull weeds and roots,
- convert sprinklers to drip lines,
- remove concrete and signage,
- dig holes and plant native plants and
- mulch our new plants!
