70 Five and fifteen gallon native trees were donated and planted three years ago by volunteers, Valley Schools, Valley residents and Valley businesses. We have waited patiently and now the trees are fully established and growing quite well. The canopy is quickly becoming large enough where we can begin planting under the trees, starting next year (2014).
The Non-Profit SYV Botanic Garden is seeking donations towards a Potting Shed, designed by Arcadia Studio.
A composting area is included in the plans as well as earthworm casting boxes and storage for tools. The potting shed will be of educational use, where students from SYV Schools and Valley residents will learn the art of propagation and later help assist the botanic garden with planting the plants.
The permit process will begin as soon as the funds are available. If you or someone you know would like to help fund this project and/or become a volunteer, please call 350-0360 for details. Thank you!
