\u00a0A key component to seed collection is having plants to collect seeds from.\u00a0 A key component to having plants is rain.\u00a0 The latter component has been very elusive in the Farmington district however.\u00a0 It is as though the district is located in a desert or something. Needless to say the lack of rain has brought seed collection to a screeching halt.\u00a0 The bright side of no rain is that it has afforded us the opportunity to help others in the office out on projects they are working on.\u00a0 We have had the pleasure of working on a bird survey before a prescribed burn, running transects for a long term bird study, and checking wildlife cameras.\u00a0 Our biggest accomplishment has been building two large native plant gardens in from of our office.\u00a0 We planted over one hundred plants from over forty different species into the gardens.\u00a0 It was a lot of work but the end result looks really amazing.\u00a0 Hopefully I will be able to regale you internet people with stories of collecting seeds again but until then keep your fingers crossed for rain.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>Cheers!<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Partially Constructed Garden<\/p><\/div>\n \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Finished Garden<\/p><\/div>\n \u00a0A key component to seed collection is having plants to collect seeds from.\u00a0 A key component to having plants is rain.\u00a0 The latter component has been very elusive in the Farmington district however.\u00a0 It is as though the district … Continue reading ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/dev-clm-blog.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/IMG_24442-300x225.jpg\")
