The first time the sticky note appeared at her desk, Maria Isabel Hernandez Olivares was a 46-year-old student at a local technical college, struggling to learn touch typing.

“You got this, Mama,” read the note.

It went straight to Hernandez’s heart. Her teen daughters, Erika Valeria Macias-Hernandez and Samantha Pamela Macias-Hernandez, had posted the message, and they would repeat the gesture many times over the next six years.

During that span, Hernandez — a Mexican immigrant with a deep love of learning — earned an associate degree, then pivoted to undergraduate studies at the University of Washington Bothell.

Through the "Yard by Yard" project, UW Bothell's Collaborative for Socio-Ecological Engagement aims to support wildlife, water quality and connectivity by helping homeowners create attractive native plant gardens.

“The project is built on a simple but powerful belief. When many people choose to integrate native plants into their own yards, together we can create healthier habitats, support pollinators and wildlife, and strengthen our local ecosystem — one yard at a time," said Dr. Lynne Robins, project founder.
