Join us to restore habitat (weeding and mulching) in the Native Garden a t Lake Cunningham Park, San Jose. The California Native Garden project in Lake Cunningham Regional Park controls invasive plants in a 1.5-acre ar ea and beautifies it with California native wildflowers, perennials, shrubs and trees.
For 2021 t he project’s priorities include installing irrigation in the meadow, planti ng small shrubs and perennials in open spaces, and continuing hand watering , weeding and mulching. We’ll continue stinkwort removal and monitor knapwe ed and pepperweed and request spraying if needed.
We thank our indivi dual volunteers and two volunteer groups who provided participants this yea r, CNPS and Silicon Valley Volunteers. We also thank park staff for their g reat support, including fixing water leaks, making mulch piles available wh ere and when needed, and making tools readily available for us.
Workd ays continue Saturdays 8:00 - 10:00am. New volunteers are welcome; City-iss ued guidelines and COVID-19 best practices are followed. For complete detai ls and directions and to RSVP, see our meetup page at www .meetup.com/California-Native-Plant-Society-Santa- Clara-Valley-Chapter .
