Grass plugs are an extremely cost efficient way to stabilize the steep, dry slopes that are all too common in the Okanagan. Hydroseed and broadcast seeding sometimes struggles on the steeper hills as they can be washed away by rain or dry out before they establish. By planting plugs you know that the grass is already established and can start anchoring itself to the slope immediately. At $25/tray you can get 50 plugs and cover a large area with minimal investment. #restoration #kelowna #westkelown #slopestabilization #ecologicalrestoration #grassplugs #nativegrasses

Someone forgot to close the shed door over the weekend and we had this little present on Monday. Now momma robin keeps an eye on us while we work. Looks like we need a new measuring cup for a while @ XEN

It was a great day out at Martin's Lane Winery with @darrylfishybio This creek restoration is going to fill in nicely and provide excellent bird, deer and small mammal habitat. . . . #martinslanewinery #ecologicalrestoration #restoration #nativeplants #Kelowna @ XEN

Gotta love all of the colour we get in the nursery this time of year! @ XEN

Well, despite our best weather dances , spring has sprung so we are firing up the nursery and bringing everyone back to keep our beauties happy and healthy. At least we are outside and can maintain proper distancing. Expect way too many plant pics soon! . On a separate note, our general manager just recieved word that a research paper of his was published! Woohoo! If you want to check it out it is available online for free. There are some beautiful symbioses happening underneath our feet every day and plants truly need their mushroom friends to survive. #mycorrhizae #ectomycorrhizae #mycorrhizajournal #ecology #ecologicalrestoration #nativeplants #westkelowna #kelowna

It was nice to get out of the house with @fllwtheleeder and check on the plants. Stay safe out there everyone. @ XEN
