Mission Green Project Update

The large pile of dirt in the back yard is now gone and has been spread around the yard. 

The new pollinator prairie has been prepped for seeding. The prairie has been bordered using rebar with yellow “mushroom caps”. It is an area of 4500 sq. ft or about 11% of an acre.  

 A small area just south of the pergola has been hydro-seeded and will be watered to create an area we can use as “overflow” for the Community Picnic.

The remainder of the yard will be leveled and seeded in late September. The pollinator prairie will be seeded at that time as well.

Now, we wait for cooler weather and hopefully some rain!
