Join us for this planting workday where we will be adding native plants to the bioswale in Dolph Park.
We will plant along the shoreline and within the bottom of the bioswale. We'll use a new, fun way of planting aquatic plants where we wrap the roots of the plant with a biodegradable sack holding a rock and then toss the plant into the water. The rock will let the roots sink down and take root.
Bring sturdy boots or tall rubber boots if you have them, but we will be able to plant by standing on dry land.
All materials will be provided.
Meet near the intersection of Parklake Ave and Lakeview Dr in Ann Arbor.
This workday will be led by Rachel Leonard from the Water Resources Commissioner's Office. Funding is provided by the City of Ann Arbor - Systems Planning Unit.
