We are prepping a new crevice garden on the site of a neglected pollinator garden. It was overtaken in part by snowberry bushes, a vital winter food source for birds. The original plan was to compost them because there wasn't a site selected for transplanting them. I kept bringing up how many calories that is until I was finally given the okay to just pot up as many as I thought would survive.

Now the city has a surplus of really good native plants that can go anywhere we'd otherwise pay to plant something non-native and ornamental. The problem of not having a site selected is being countered by my solution of converting all undervalued urban greenspace to something better.

That's also only one of two truck-loads. I also got some native rabbitbrush, a long-season flowering shrub that pollinators go monkey for.
