Nature Patch Complete at Columbia Park

This natural forest landscape has a floral lawn planted with crocuses, flat-top log benches and boulders, a network of walking paths, and a unique selection of pollinator-pleasing plants. The project repurposed an underutilized and degraded area of the park to give the picnic areas a cohesive design. Thanks to everyone who helped out during the planning, construction, and planting!

 Thanks to everyone who pitched in to plant the patch in January!

Thanks also to our community partner on this event, the Columbia Slough Watershed Council.

Check out the design and plant list for the nature patch.

Thanks to PP&R Horticulture staff and nearby Waldorf students who put in the first flush of green in December.
