Demo Garden Maintenance: Native Seed Farm

Visitors to IRC’s Native Seed Farm are first greeted by our Demo Garden, providing inspiration for regionally suitable plant gardens. Our Demo Garden hosts a variety of native plant species which support a healthy local ecosystem!

IRC Farm Stewards are invited to help at an additional Demo Garden Maintenance Day! Our tasks each day are to be determined, but we’ll be tackling whatever jobs are a top priority to keep our Demo Garden teeming with native plantlife. Weeding, clearing, cutting, digging, watering,– whatever it takes!

Activities may include bending, stooping, crouching, squatting, long periods of standing, reaching, pulling, grabbing, and pushing.

Just like all settings on the Landmarks, please always be aware of your surroundings. There may be unseen and hidden dangers in the area, as well as wildlife crossing through finding refuge. Please be sure to follow all instructions provided to you from your lead during this activity and follow standard trail protocols, including remaining in areas that are designated for your use only.

Before leaving your home to report for the activity, fill your water bottle, bring everything you need to be healthy, and conduct a self-assessment.

Please review your Stewardship Guidelines during Covid-19 or ask for a copy from activityoperations@irconservancy.org if you do not have yours or if you need to remind yourself of the guidelines.
