There's a special place in gardening heaven for people who work to remove blackberry roots.

The Kaleidoscope crew pushed into a new section of Darnell Park, 1125 N 165th St, Shoreline WA 98133, on August 24, 2023.  A day of work thoroughly removing Himalayan blackberry revealed a grove of elderberry and many ferns. 

This section is now known to Kaleidoscope crew as elderberry cove.  We look forward to mulching this area in September and planting native companions for the elderberry this fall.
