Project Title: San Jacinto/101 Intersection
Description: OCE grew and donated flora and helped plant the intersection near Del Mar Liquor and Deli in collaboration with Morro Bay Beautiful. Of special interest, the Lemonade Berry (Rhus integrifolia) planted on the site were once used by the native Chumash people to mix a tasty brew much like lemonade. The seeds of the plant were collected locally, at Morro Bay State Park.
