WEEKLY Jizo Garden Caretaking

Help to develop the Jizo Garden

Fall is the planting season in California — and we welcome your help during this busy and creative time. In the upcoming weeks, we want to:

  • Cut down and bag the remaining weedy grasses. Not a lot left! 

  • Mark out areas for planting, using wooden stakes and string. This will help us visualize how the garden might develop—and alert people to places where new plants are growing.

  • Make seed balls! Mixing seeds with soil and clay makes them more challenging for birds to eat and increases their likelihood of thriving. Fun!

  • Get creative about what plants we want in the Jizo garden! We can grow locally native plants that are not only beautiful but also attract birds and butterflies (whose caterpillars are required for baby birds). We can add other garden favorites that can thrive alongside deer and do well in dry summers. Let's brainstorm!
