Progress Report


Concept Document:  http://goo.gl/hv5nVe


  • We  now have seeds so we can grow our first crop of flowers thanks to Rod Gilbert from Joint Base Lewis McChord and the nearby Prairie Restoration Project.  
  • Tentative site has been selected and the GPS coordinates have been provided to city of DuPont
  • Communications with Mayor Grayum and City Administrator Masko continue on next steps
  • The site will need to be prepared to remove all non-native plants (mostly grass & Scot's Bloom) will need to be prepared
  • Seeds will be grown off-site in another location.  First crop will be used to increase seed quantity, then will be planted again, off site.  
  • No city staff time will be utilized nor will any storage space or water during or after installation.
  • During the second year the plants will be installed at our first site in DuPont.
