Preserving collections is our priority! 💪🌳In the woodland garden at the @amhistorymuseum we’ve planted a living green mulch — a mix of Carexes, flowering herbaceous plants, and edible shrubs — to support the health of our oaks and the life they sustain. This work is about more than planting — it’s about preserving collections. Every decision, from soil aeration to the new plantings, was made to protect our trees, which are the heart of this landscape and the focus of this project. 🎥: Nick L.,

What’s happening here? Our horticulturist for the Urban Bird Garden is vertical mulching. Vertical mulching is a soil treatment practice that improves tree health by aerating the soil around a tree’s root system followed by incorporating nutrients into the air pockets. Compressed air displaces the existing soil so nutrient-rich compost can be easily added thereby improving the overall soil texture and nutrient characteristics. Vertical mulching improves aeration and drainage, which helps our tre
