Thanks to the Xerces Society (a Portland nonprofit focused on invertebrate conservation), we have acquired a batch of pollinator-friendly plants who need homes, so let’s turn our “Welcome to Ardenwald” sign terraces into another leg of pollinator pathway!
While larger shrubs are well-established on the terraces, their understory (think groundcover-level) is still prone to invasive weeds, so let’s displace said weeds with low-growing native wildflowers who will feed and shelter AJC’s pollinators, so they can maintain their vital link in our ecosystems. The work party is happening:
- When: Saturday, Nov. 21, 1:30pm – 3:30pm
- Where: The sign terraces on the south side of SE Johnson Creek Blvd., between 43rd and Brookside (map it)
Bring a water bottle and your weeding/planting/cleaning tools of choice: shovels, spades, clippers, brooms, etc. If you’re not sure how to plant something or recognize weeds, not to worry; we’re happy to show you the ropes!
