The pocket park on Kestral Drive is coming along nicely!  After removal of the turf grass last year, Board members sowed native prairie seeds through the area in January, and then planted over 400 native plant plugs along the park edge and pathway in May. In August, 4 cubic yards of mulch were spread along the pathway, which will lead to a bench nestled among the pollinator garden; additionally, many invasive weeds were removed to make way for the intentional planting. The park is already proving fruitful as many species of butterflies were enjoying the garden during Board work days. We appreciate everyone’s patience as we endure the ‘ugly duckling’ phase, and trust you all enjoy the ‘glow up’ to continue through this summer and especially next year as the garden becomes well-established and the pollinators take full advantage of it!
