The Watershed Nursery

While other graduate students buried their noses in musty library books, Laura Hanson and Diana Benner muddied their knees in the wetlands and eelgrass habitats around San Francisco. Their research led to their respective degrees?MS in ecology and systematics, MS in environmental science?as well as a deep understanding of the inner workings of California?s ecological systems. The pair opened The Watershed Nursery with the aim of helping those ecosystems flourish.

Together with a team of botanical specialists, Laura and Diana oversee habitat restoration and enhancement projects. They specialize in growing native and site-specific California plants, as well as drought-tolerant species that thrive on the sustenance found in sunlight and loving glances. In addition to ready-to-plant items, the nursery can grow site-specific plants for a difficult area or create custom seed selections, among other services.

To further The Watershed Nursery?s mission of ?habitat enhancement,? team members participate in environmentally responsible projects within the community, such as the restoration of Breuner Marsh and mitigation projects in Sycamore Grove and Portola Park. Staff members also aid the Earth in everyday practices, as they collect used plant containers from customers for additional uses and second careers as eco-friendly badminton birdies.

The Groupon Guide to: Bonding with Your Child

Babies come out of the womb so physically weak that they will love anyone strong enough to hold their jello-like bodies, but as kids grow older, parents must earn their love. Here?s how to force your kid to adore you:

Buy Them a Car: Your kid doesn?t want to be seen in whatever hot metal garbage you?re driving around. Drop off your spawn at their favorite local dealership, give them your credit card, and then go wait for them to meet you at the nearest Pizza Barge franchise.

Be a Cool Parent: Make it obvious that you?re not like other parents by dressing in teenager clothing (tight jeans and a T-shirt from a sandwich shop that doesn?t exist anymore). If people mistake you for your child?s loose-skinned older sibling, just go with it. Tell them that your child?s parents disappeared while committing a crime of passion together and you decided to raise your sibling as a graduate-school project.

Spend Time with Them: When children are still young, you can just carry them around in a sling on your chest, but as they grow older and heavier, it?s better to stay attached by sewing a shirt big enough that you both can wear it at the same time. If your kid refuses to wear the shirt, cry loudly until you both feel embarrassed, and then call your kid?s crush and cry loudly to them.
