Petrie Park Update December 2023

This summer we are installing a transitional bedding display in the shape of a game of bowls. We are planting red Mizuna to represent the black bowling ball, but this family of plant is also know for extracting the unwanted chemicals in the soil. Once this display has finished its life cycle, we will re-test both the planted and non-planted areas to see if there are differing results. If the use of red Mizuna is successful in lowering chemical levels, we will plan another planting day and keep testing until we have remediated the soil completely.

 

 

If you get a chance, pop on down to the southern half of Petrie Park and check out our progress. There are also signs dotted around the southern portion of the fence.
