Things just keep getting prettier around here!
Recently several staff members at DNCCC felt something had to be done about the back entrance to the building. The ground was hard and dry, the weed barrier was askew and there were just a few struggling plants making a valiant effort to beautify the space.
With a few funds and a lot of ingenuity the area has been transformed. The weed barrier was pulled back. The existing soil was watered and turned. A load of ‘dirty fines’ was generously donated by Snoozie Shavings to nourish the area. A variety of plants now greet those who enter including the parents in our Child Access Program.
Native ceanothus joins fuchsia, thrift, lamb’s ears, columbine, jasmine, rosemary, periwinkle, artemisia and ribbon grass. The weed barrier has been secured and is now beautified by a layer of wood chips also donated by Snoozie’s.
We’re proud of our back entrance and the welcoming sight of healthy plants. Come visit and see the difference! Special thanks to Rosalee Leaberry, Liz Houchin and Melodee Waggener for all their hard work on this project!
