I like this project a lot. The site was formerly a degraded lawn with a shitty apple tree. It's in a park next to two child-centric locations and a parking lot, so there is a lot of opportunity for it to be an enriching public education spot. My crew spent last year turning it into a dry creekbed garden full of native plants.

It takes about three years for a pollinator garden to really begin flourishing here, but even after the first season it's so much nicer and supports a lot more wildlife. The creekbed even serves a dual role of diverting water away from the parking lot while storing it for the plants to minimise irrigation.
