On July 26, we gathered at our native plant nursery (generously housed in Casey’s yard) to weed the baby plants we started last December and give them more space to get large for our fall garden installations. We have about 25 species that made it through the winter and should be the perfect size to plant in September–lots of pollinator garden classics like bee balm (Monarda fistulosa), mountain mint (Pycnanthemum virginianum), and anise hyssop (Agastache foeniculum), and some more unusual species, like prairie rose (Rosa arkansana) and prairie onion (Allium stellatum).
As we wait for the plants to mature, we’re looking for folks in Corcoran and surrounding neighborhoods who’d like to receive a community-installed pollinator garden (in exchange for helping install two other gardens). Let us know if you’re interested!
