A FORECAST TO BELIEVE IN
Rain, rain, rain. Then multiple weather sites predict sun for Thursday, Nov 2nd. So we grab our gardening tools and run
for it. It turns out to be the perfect day to be outdoors in the gardens. Eight
of us weed, remove litter, rake, prune, and plant in all the gardens at
Galer, Boston, and McGraw. When done we are spent, but oh, how wonderful we think the
gardens look!!
Plants we added
*Sedum Angelina *Russian Sage *Virburnum Davidii *Black-eyed Susan
*Black-twig Dogwood *Salvia *Epimedium *Rhubus groundcover
*Slowmound Mugo Pine *Hydrangea 'Pee Wee'
Thanks to super volunteers Carol Jackson, Susan Veninga,
Barbara Freeman, and Denny Bird who joined Board members Elaine Talbot, Wayne
Winder, Sheila Callahan, and Margaret Okamoto. Many thanks to Board member and
landscape designer, Kathy King, who, while not able to dig in the dirt at the
moment, selected the plants, brought them to and set them out at their chosen
garden sites, mixed and had ready the seaweed fertilizer that promotes strong
root growth, and answered questions/offered advice.
Thanks as well to Land2C Landscape Design for drafting the
planting plan and providing the plants at their wholesale price.
