Project:
Audubon Wildlife Demonstration Garden
Description:
Reclaimed an overgrown garden in spring of '03. Did major pruning and weeding. Planted initial trees, shrubs and perennials. Add plants in spring and mulch in spring and fall. July through August: routine maintenance, staff an "Ask a Master Gardener" table in the garden.
Location:
Randall Davey Audubon Center at the end of Upper Canyon Road
Goal:
Ensure the garden has at least one of each wildlife-attracting plant for this zone, labeled for visitors' education and enjoyment. Educate the public. Inform them about SFMGA. Attract members.
Looking for volunteers who…
…enjoy hands on gardening, making planting recommendations, planting, and pruning, weeding, mulching, and talking with garden visitors.
