Wd’re on year number 3 for this commercial pollinator garden.

Year number 1 was a success, but lacked diversity/seasonal interest.

Year number 2 we did a large removal and replacement

Year number 2.5 we took out old shrubs and planted more

Year number 3 is looking pretty fun so far.

Year 3.5 will include planting to fill some remaining holes, and then hopefully:

Year 4 will be the first of a final stage.

Gardening is a fluid and dynamic endeavor that requires trust, resilience, and above all else, courage. So often people give up just before the garden is about to take off and show its full potential. It’s a heartbreaking mistake…..one must have hope to see through the rough parts.

Very grateful for the folks @ West Lancaster Animal Hospital for allowing us grace during this process.

Happy early Autumn 🍃🌼

This beauty was installed 20 months ago for a conservation-minded local church. Members of the congregation were concerned about the effects of their stormwater running straight into the (extremely) over-saturated sewer system.

Lancaster county’s waterways have been degraded quite incredibly over the past 300+ years due to land clearing, dams, and now development and chemical use in agriculture.

When looking for ways to mitigate the toxic loads going into our waterways, slowing down and filtering stormwater flow with native habitat both beneficially impacts our waterways, as well as our immediate spaces; like the side of this church. Now there is food, shelter, and beauty for fauna (including human) to enjoy and thrive in and amongst.

The congregation took advantage of a wonderful program through to make this project happen, as well as another onsite.

If you’re looking for a less-industrial option for stormwater management on your property, we may have some options for you.

Happy summer 🌿🌼🌧️
