Looking for volunteers to help me restore this rhododendron garden (photo 3). Volunteer Link in BIO. Or DM me. Get involved in your community!
My view from volunteering
@cityofseatac @highlinebotanicalgarden yesterday.
Photo 3 Happy to announce as Seatac's rhododendron expert, I'm the new steward of the young rhododendron garden. Thanks for trusting me to restore this. These plants come from a monsoon climate in the wild and require water, shade, and special care to thrive. They aren't like all the other plants at the garden. Rain water collection should be a future priority here. Saves me a ton a money on my water bill at home with the 2 barrels we bought from the city.
I am going to redesign this garden to have native ferns and drought tolerant plants to make up for the water needs of the rhododendrons and control weeds.
