Here's a note from Bonnie Hearn about work happening on campus right now:
We have tried many times to obtain grants to fund the “fallen tree garden” near the Lower School playground. One of our top priorities with all of our native plant teaching gardens is to mitigate runoff that is so detrimental to our campus. The Lower School playground has been eroding for years due to runoff from heavy storms. Please stop by and see the progress. We ‘recycled’ the two large oak trees that we needed to remove for safety reasons.
Once again, the Guilford Garden Club has stepped in with their efforts and designs in collaboration with European Landscapes to get this work completed. Additionally, with the resources of the Native Plant Garden Fund, we should abate the runoff!
You should really see it yourself. It's remarkable to see the work they've done, splitting logs, creating areas for the water to move, etc... And I can't wait to see what it looks like once it's planted! It's going to be another great place to sit and think on campus (except in the middle of or just after a rainstorm).
