Today my second time volunteering at the Mission Blue Nursery. I volunteered for three hours, from 1p.m.-4p.m. I was very excited to volunteer! Ildiko and I started off weeding plants. We got rid of various weeds like clovers and moss. I was really shocked about how deep the clover roots went into the soil. It was really difficult to get rid off all the clover's roots. After about a half hour, we began to re-pot plants for their sale. The Nursery has sales on the extra plants they restore from the mountain. Ildiko and I rearranged and organized the pot assortments to make room for other plants. We took a break and snacked on cookies. Afterwards I walked around the nursery and watered dried out plants. Then, I went outside and watered the garden. I went back into the nursery and worked with Ildiko to weed more plants until it was time for me to go. It was very pleasing to see how healthy the plants looked after we got rid of the weeds. The pictures below are the interior of the nursery.
