        We first brought mulch out onto the California Native garden #2 on Cottle Avenue. The mulch improves the plants growing conditions. Before adding the mulch we removed the weeds because it can effect the plant. After we added the mulch to the garden we went back to and worked on compost. Compost is decayed organic material used as fertilizer. We helped prepare the compost by cutting twigs and branches into smaller pieces so that they can decay faster. I learned that maintaining a garden isn't so easy, its not only planting seeds and watering them. There are so many things we can do like recycling organic materials such as leaves, twigs, fruit peelings etc. to improve gardens.
