We haven't yet done this year's mulching and rock placements. With those will hopefully come individual signage for species ID and more of a crevice garden focus for this close portion.

This was a degraded lawn underneath a shitty apple tree. Because it's next to two big municipal areas for kids, it was a good candidate for an extra enriching space.

My crew turned it into a dry creekbed garden that sponges up rainfall and sprinkler overcast. There are maybe two dozen native flower species, a row of currant and honeysuckle shrubs, and native grass species testing out the drought resistance. I don't think any of it's irrigated or required watering past the first year, but it takes 3-5 for these to really establish here. Already it's being used as a community seedbank and the goal is to have it as an add-on to school field trips in the area once the sidewalk is accessible.
