Rincon

My carpool and I arrived at the Rincon reservation a little late. We all were confused on where to meet, because no one was there. We then found out that everyone already headed out to the back. When we got there, we all split up into separate groups. We decided where to put the plants and then we got our area approved so we could start digging and planting.











We decided that some people would dig and some would plant.

The first plant I did had thorns on them, and I didn't realize it until i got poked. I got a tiny cut but I was fine. We continued digging and planting until we finished. On my third plant, I couldn't get one of the plants out of the plastic container. Whitney told me to just pat the sit of the plastic so the soil becomes a little lose. I tried it and it worked. When we were done, we had to put a layer of mulch around the plant. My group was the first ones done, so we decided to get rocks and put them next to some of the plants. One of the people from Rincon said that these native plants really like rocks, so we did it. When we finished we cleaned up and stacked all of our containers. Deborah and half of the class left to walk down a trail. I ended up staying to help set up watering the plants. Everyone was done except for us, and I could tell that the girl who was poking the hose really wanted to do this. So, I helped and stayed until we got all of the plants we could in that section. At the end, we were rewarded a mug. I was really happy we got a mug, because my mom broke my other one last month. We all got back in the car and I felt really tired and dirty. I couldn't wait until I got home to shower and go rest. All in all, it was a good days work, and I felt very useful.
