#raingarden

Spent the morning sowing seeds for our Knob Hill Native Plant Gardens. I'm trying to grow Buttonbush from seed - if it sprouts, this shrub will go in our future #RainGarden.

Rain gardens collect and filter stormwater, reduce flooding, and provide habitat and food to wildlife.

I think banning paving over gardens would be better, with those who had already paved over their gardens financially incentivised to remove the paving.

Londoners should be charged for #pavinggardens, says climate resilience report | Climate crisis | The Guardian

LOL I ran over to the place I wanna work to help with production. Instead I've sketched out a #RainGarden plan with one of the owners.

And I'm going to bring over all my gardening shit that I have at the store that's closing.

I need to finish my cover letter and actually fucking apply tonight.

My seasonal depression must be lifting because I am on a gardening roll. Or maybe it's just that my hobbies change with the weather! I rescued this red-osier dogwood off Facebook marketplace (it had outgrown it's old home), and I think it will be perfect for my rain garden. I already have two dogwood trees here but they are tiny little sticks. I pruned this one quite a bit, and I'm sure the deer will keep it well pruned as well 😒

Red-osier dogwood freshly pruned and planted in a native plant rain garden. It is the tallest of the surrounding plants, as the others are only 1-2 years old. The dogwood is about 5 feet tall.

I spoke with my work's landlord today & got verbal permission to install a #LittleFreeLibrary and #Raingarden in the 25'x3' strip of land in front of the shop!

Spring is gonna be dope! I'm thinking we need a #PollinatorGarden full of #NativePlants

😲 The new #raingarden is full of water today. It worked! Still a bit more digging to go, though.
