Barbie is a group member with an unimproved right of way along her property who’s asked if we can help her tame it as she’s trying to create a completely native yard. She has some beautiful native plants that are trying to get established but are being choked out by Blackberries, Holly and other plants which are taking over the property. Upon moving into her home she found out that as a property owner adjacent to an unimproved right of way is responsible for its upkeep so is trying to do the right thing but is struggling with finding time and energy with a young toddler. Read more about the property and dilemma on Crosscut.

I think with a good number of folks we can knock this project out in a couple hours. Unlike other Spruced projects though we do have lots of plants that are “keepers” to work around. Barbie will be on site and helping out and can give us all a walk-thru before work gets under way so we’re all on the same page about what will get Spruced and what will be spared. I think this will be a fun one!
