Planting+Shrubs+at+MLK+Day+of+Service+Even

On Martin Luther King Day, I had the opportunity to help plant shrubs at a local park near good hope farm. The architect on the site told us volunteers to dig six inch holes around the flags placed on the ground, insert the plant assigned to each flag, and then add compose around the plant. Majority of the plants we planted were located near a steady water source ,which made sure the plant had a constant source of water. The water also helped hydrate the soil, making it less frozen and easier to dig the holes. We planted the shrubs to help protect the nutrient level of the grass when lawn cutters came to cut and trim the park. This relates to earth science because, the reason of the shrubs helped protect nutrients within the soil which helps the plants roots grow and also keeps the nutrients circulating throughout the grass.
