Project completed: Native plantings
Over a dozen Amberglen residents, inspired by plans for the AGW Native Plantings Project, came together on the 15th of October to beautify what had been characterized as the ”big, ugly dirt patch” at the intersection of NE 67th Avenue and NE 114th Street. Led by Tiffany Kullgren, the neighbors made short work of the task, planting two dozen native specimens and spreading handfuls of wildflower seeds in a couple of hours. (See the project profile for more details.)
The rainy season arrived a week after the project was completed – a welcome relief for the parched strip of clay that is now home to two dozen native plants. We look forward to spring to see how the flora adapt to their new home.
AGW is grateful to those who helped with this effort: Tiffany and Dave Kullgren; Jane Cicala; Karl, Patti, and Katera Durovchic; John Grant and Don Covert; Song Natiola; Sue Nelson; Chuck Polacek; Ron Rowe; Karen Schaefer; Karen Williams.
Thank you, also, to the Amberglen HOA for their generous help with financing the project.
