KAB Sessions at the Get Growing Keep Going Conference  Green GardeningDiscover how native plants make for easy gardens and the important role native plants play in filtering pollutants. Join us to find out how naturally occurring plants improve soil health, protect groundwater and diversify habitats. Models will demonstrate surface runoff versus infiltration and hands-on activities will emphasize building a native garden bed and the roles of natives.  The Dirt on SoilYou may be surprised to know that soil is not a necessity of plants but it does help plants meet basic needs by giving them a place to anchor their roots and take in water and minerals. Join us to discover explore the science of soil, make soil observations, and learn how to build your garden from the ground up with the right soil structure and composition.

Put the Finishing Seal on MuralsFlexible, Jan 7-15Volunteer artists from the Robertson Hill Neighborhood Association have been hard at work creating murals that reflect their neighborhood.  This project is part of a 2009 KAB Grant www.keepaustinbeautiful.org/nbg2009robertsonhillna and once complete the murals will decorate eight vacant houses awaiting restoration.  Once the homes are restored the murals will find a new home, still within the neighborhood, at Kenny Dorham's Backyard. The murals are all complete but just need to be sealed to protect them from the weather.  Two or three mural backs or fronts can be done at a time (in garages and must stay upright) which takes under 2 hours; they need at least 6 hrs to dry before doing the other side. Two back are sealed already and just needs some touchup, so that means 8 fronts and 6 backs still need to be sealed.  Date/Time: Flexible, January 7th – 15th Contact: Valerie at RobertsonHill@gmail.com or 457-0273
