Rewilding My Lot

Converting a new developer lot into a nature ecosystem — my journey


Defining Areas For Two Small Trees

The Mexican Olive (Cordia boissieri) and Texas Mountain Laurel (Sophora secundiflora) trees were planted earlier this year, and each had vaguely defined mulch circles already.

In order to more clearly separate these trees from the seeding activities that will happen near them, I’ve given them each a stone circle and added fresh mulch.

Here’s the Mexican Olive (with Desert Willow in the background):

And here’s the Texas Mountain Laurel with the other two trees in the background:

I invite you to join me on my journey to convert my sterile (from a nature point of view) new house lot to a healthy and diverse ecosystem, as I make discoveries, mistakes, and hopefully progress. I am not an expert or professional. The project started in February 2023 and the location is Seguin, Texas, USA.
