In celebration of the 2nd anniversary of the Garber Park Stewards, Lech Naumovich, Golden Hour Restoration Institute, will once again lead us in planting natives on the Hiillside at the Evergreen Lane Entrance. Now is the time to get the seedlings in the ground to maximize their chances of survival. Lech will guide us through the results of last year's event and talk about selection of appropriate native plants for micro sites found on the hillside. The planting day event will include an informational handout that provides some restoration planting guidance.
At the Evergreen Entrance, there are five restoration beds now nearly one year old. Extensive maintenance, native identification, documentary photography, and native seed collection have assisted in the planned expansion of this very successful project - which will take place December 17.
We need your help to ensure another successful Restoration Planting Day. As always, there will be many different kinds of activities that volunteers can do on planting day - not everyone needs to climb the hill or dig in the dirt.
FOR THIS EVENT THE GARBER PARK STEWARDS ARE PARTNERING WITH GOLDENHOUR.ORG, CLAREMONT CANYON CONSERVANCY, AND THE CITY OF OAKLAND. MANY OF THE NATIVE PLANTS HAVE BEEN DONATED BY THE FRIENDS OF SAUSAL CREEK NURSERY.
