RBNA Board member Catlow Shipek spearheaded a new initiative: a linear garden on Allen Road. Working with Paula Dasko of Meadowview, he designed and oversaw the installation of over 65 native plants including native shade trees —two velvet mesquite and four desert ironwood—along the north wall of the Meadowview community. Neighbors young and old came out to help by planting, watering, placing wire cages around the young plants, and even playing music.
Meadowview neighbors are hand watering until the native plants are established. Please slow down and tell them thanks if you see them caring for the new plants.
