Brie's Pollinator Garden: Getting The Area Prepared

                                      Welcome back to my blog! Today I am going to talk about where I am going to put my garden and the process of figuring out the perfect place to put it.

                                

                                    I decided to put my garden in my local park so many people would be able to view it while passing by. My garden is going to be in an unusual spot...a swale! I am putting my garden in a swale in the park because it is easier for water to reach the plants in the garden and getting closer to the roots. Before I could officially say that this is where I want my garden to be, I had to make sure the soil was good for planting. I went to the swale with my mom and we started digging small holes in the swale. We would put the dirt into a bucket and combined them later. After collecting the soil, we brought the soil to a lab where they would test the soil. After about a week, we got the results back, saying that it was okay to plant there! 

                                    I hope you enjoyed this post and got to learn about this process before you can even plan anything! Make sure to stay tuned for my next post!
