The area covered in cardboard was actually covered in unwanted plant growth just before Sunday! Our trusty compost crew weeded out this whole area and was able to cover it with cardboard to keep regrowth from happening so that we can utilize this extra space in our compost section of the farm. Thank you so much for all of your hard work, composters!

In the pollinator garden, the students from Primrose Hill saw how the native plant of Anaphalis margaritacea (“pearly everlasting”) is a host plant for the American Painted Lady butterfly. There are dozens of their larvae on the plants with protective silk coverings- check out these photos we took!
A good lesson to see!
