The planting event took place last Thursday, as scouts and volunteers planted over 140 native flowers, grasses, sedges and shrubs.
The project will help create important pollinator habitat in Valley Park and Mendota Heights. To learn more about the project and more about pollinators, Ben has created a QR code for park visitors!

Weed of the Month: Palmer Amaranth
Palmer Amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri) is an annual plant native to the arid southwestern U.S. and northwestern Mexico, which was accidentally introduced to the southeastern U.S.?
Palmer Amaranth is hard to control once it is established, as it has developed resistance to many herbicides. Prevention is the best management approach, when small populations can be identified early and hand-pulled.
