This grant application is specifically for the Colton demonstration garden and

choose plant varieties that do well in this high desert area, compare different
composting systems, and model different methods of predator control. Our request for CMGA funds is specifically
for the purchase of ½” hardware cloth to help protect four 4’ by 13’ raised
beds from animals that burrow underneath the soil. This material is more
durable and likely to prevent garden damage from burrowing animals than the 1”
chicken wire previously used.

an essential step in achieving conservation goals. This goal will be
accomplished by developing and installing interpretive signs at The Arboretum
and dedicating garden tours to focus on plant/pollinator interactions. They are
asking CMGA for $250 - $500 for a portion of one interpretive sign
(professionally produced, weatherproof UV resistant signs are estimated to cost
$1,000 each and four will be produced to illustrate the relationships between
milkweed, monarchs and the environment for the purposes of this project.
