Butterfly Plants Planted

We had beautiful weather this past Saturday for our first garden planting at the reach! Thanks to all who came out and lent a hand--it was a big weekend for Cherrywood. Mike Damal and volunteers were planting trees, garden geeks were trading plants at the Cherrywood Plant Swap, we planted the butterfly garden, and Burners Without Borders fixed up the Cherrywood Green. Sweet!

We had a wonderful workday this past weekend, with many neighbors and friends coming out to help (including volunteers from Westlake and Steiner Ranch!). Everything went very smoothly. We now have a trail (which is also a mowing buffer) and a well-mulched bed just begging for butterfly flowers. Plans are still to plant on October 13, so come out and join the fun. In the meantime, here are a few photos from the day...

Thanks to everyone for all of their hard work!!

Workday this Saturday 9/29!!

It's time to prepare the neighborhood's new butterfly garden!

What we'll do: till the soil, lay edging, fill the beds with compost and mulch, and fill the trail with crushed granite.
What to bring: work gloves, hat, sunscreen, water, bug spray (extra wheelbarrows, shovels, and rakes may also come in handy)
Where: Corner of Cherrywood and Sycamore Roads (about one block north of 38.5)
