VOLUNTEER DAYS
Indigenous Garden
Throughout the Fall semester, the FSL held numerous volunteer days in the Indigenous garden. We worked towards respectfully removing non-native species such as Himalayan Blackberries, English Ivy, and Scotch broom as these relatives lead to ecosystem imbalance. Volunteers also tended the Veggie Bed, Herb Bed and Indian Potato Bed with weeding, plantings, and installation of an irrigation system.
