Hello Ocean Friendlies,
We have an Action Packed Summer lined up for you, so don’t miss out!
In August, we continue with our second Lawn Patrol this year (Saturday, August 2nd) as a part of the Dos Caminos residential retrofit. This is going to be a Fun and Hands-on Educational Event so stay tuned for details.
Currently we are in full swing on our LARGEST OCEAN FRIENDLY GARDEN YET!!!
LOMA VISTA SCHOOL located at Loma Vista and Mills St in Ventura, will be our largest OFG to date. Below are photos of the progress made on Saturday, June 14th.
Tasks completed include rough grading (bobcat/mini excavator), sculpt rain and dry stream gardens (primarily hand dig), move and set boulders into place (bobcat/mini excavator), locate existing storm drains that are to be directed into the dry stream garden (mini excavator), and locate irrigation stub-outs for hose bibs (hand dig).
You’ll be happy to hear that “All the Hard Work is Done!” Saturday July 19th is our next Fun-Day and Educational Tabling Event.
Activities include: Final hand work on Bio-swales, Sheet-mulching, Plant prep & planting and much more. We shall be joined by the Loma Vista Class mates/kids, parents and staff, so bring the whole family and get your hands dirty. Or Not, and just hang out, have fun with the Kids and Learn about OFG.
