The work for the project will be done in two Phases. 0 Phase one will be preparation which will include- o Purchasing all planting materials. o Digging the gardens to the proper depth of 4 inches. o Leveling the metal borders to the surrounding ground. o Laying and staking anti weed material o Pre mark locations for plants to prepare for planting in phase two. (See 6 Sep Random Park ppt diagram) o Lay 4 inches of mulch. Phase two will include- o Purchase all plant materials. o Clearing mulch and cutting fabric for plants. o Digging holes for plants and trees to the proper depth. Proper depth is level with the dirt that is in the plant and tree containers. The proper width of the hole is twice the width of the plant container. o Plant the trees and shrubs. o Replace the fabric and mulch. o Water the newly planted plants. o Level the mulch as needed around the plants and trees. o Cleaning the work site. I anticipate going through with phase one in the fall (September 22 fall back date is September 23). Phase two will be done in the spring (Late May early June) due to the late planting season and the project will be completed once phase two is completed. The Phases will take place over two weekends one in the fall and one in the spring. I will use the Saturdays for both phases of my project as my primanJ day and Sunday will be the back up date. Project Purpose The reason for the project is that the city has limited resources. The site has been updated with a new shelter but the plants around the area were destroyed in the process. At this time, the outside of the building looks un-organized and messy. I plan to fix up the gardens and landscape the park to make it look nice again. 3
