Description

Seed collection, weeding, and stewardship of the Native Wildflower Meadow planted at New Orleans Mosquito Control Headquarters. Join us at 2100 Leon C Simon to take part in keeping up the native wildflower meadow we planted in April, and to prepare the meadow for next spring. At each gathering, we will focus on different aspects of site ecology and environmental stewardship. November 13, we will be weeding the meadow and collecting the seeds for sowing next spring. December 4, we will weed, collect seeds, and design a rain garden for the site that will increase the biodiversity and water management capacity of the site. Participants will learn from plants experts and designers about different native wildflowers, and how they interact with soils, bugs, and water. Participants will receive an illustrated field guide to wildflowers and common weeds. All are welcome. This event is part of Seeds & Beats 2021: Reflections and Explorations on Water, Ecology, and Infrastructure. -- COVID 19: Please dress for the weather, and follow all public health guidelines for masks and social distancing, and do not join if you’re experiencing any symptoms of illness.
