Many thanks to the U.S. Bank CDC volunteers who joined us in the garden this morning for a little end-of-season maintenance work! This crew helped us clear several berms of weeds, add layers of compost, and spread mulch on our walking paths. We appreciate their hard work and willingness to dig in the dirt!

― Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants
