On Saturday morning, Audrey is ready for the day’s project to begin.
Audrey and Ayano greet first-time volunteers Tia and Christiana
At first we were apprehensive as the fresh soil was very wet; in fact, downright muddy.
Audrey gave a planting technique demonstration and some information about the plants before everyone got down to work.
Ayano’s job was to construct wire cages to protect the plants most vulnerable to deer browsing.
Audrey shares her enthusiasm as the work progresses. At this time, the photographer got into the work and didn’t make further images until planting was finished.
Facing south towards the bridge. Note Ayano’s cages and the path dissecting the mounds.
View facing north towards the entrance. The area to the left is planted with native shrubbery. Note the mulch added last.
So here’s the crew. A really good one, I’ll add. From left to right it’s Joel, Tia, Alejandro, Mel, Christiana, Audrey and Ayano. Thanks, Ayano, for setting my camera on timer and getting yourself in the photo.
